The human will is our capacity for choice and action, which we can exercise for good or evil. The will is the human capacity to choose and to act responsibly. As such, it enables humans to respond to God’s word in obedience or disobedience. For the Christian faith, the will of man is a necessary presupposition for the doctrine of sin and of man’s responsibility for sin. It is only because humans have a will, because they are the author of their own actions, that they can be held responsible
