Free will is the concept that it is possible to make choices by an act of will based on independent thought.
Incompatibilism views free will as being in conflict with the doctrine of determinism, while Compatibilism sees no conflict between the two.
In some denominations of the Christian faith it is believed that humans were created with free will so that they would choose to worship God. Other Christian traditions, such as Calvinism, believe that humans were created without free will, but that God's will determines our actions.
