Free will can only be practiced when it comes to choice, we are only free to make a choice and beyond that there is nothing but slavery. You are at liberty to make a choice between the options already provided for you and after your decision you become a prisoner to your preference thus bear the consequences attached to it. Inside every decision therein lies preconditions (laws) that govern its purpose.

Every decision is a jail in itself because it must be made to accomplish certain and specific objectives. And within the choice made; there are rules that act as guides that lead to the achievement of the goal/s.

I think that could be the purpose of the Bible (Christian perspective) thus once you choose to become a Christian you are a slave to your choice and your free will predetermined by the Word of God.
