"For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in expectation." (Romans 8:20)
Note that the creation was "not willingly" subjected to vanity. There was no free will of man involved. God Himself subjected His creatures to vanity. And God will deliver them from it! To the extent humans make choices they deem as "free will" certainly has nothing to do with their salvation. Human will is always subject to the will of God. And what does God "will" in regard to salvation?
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all humanity to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Tim. 2:3-4).
All other Scripture must be harmonized with this. Any teaching contrary to this is false doctrine.
"The saving grace of God made its advent to all humanity...speak of these things." (Titus 2:11-15)
