God's Freedom and Human Freedom

If God is the only one who is completely free, as the Cause of all things, then God has purposed to limit His freedom by granting others—if only human beings—freedom. In granting sovereignty to humanity, God so reduces his sovereignty by exactly that much. In determining to love and forgive and promising to forgive the repentant, God limits Himself to that love, and so reduces His freedom. But in even his own limitations, God remains free—free to remain in the love He chose, free to grant to humanity freedom.
