AC 2874, 2875 - freedom; AC 2881 - compulsion

AC 2874, 2875
. . . freedom is . . . to think and will from affection,
and that the freedom is such as is the affection . . ..

The good of life, or the affection of good,
is insinuated by the Lord by an internal way,
without a person's knowing anything about it;
but the truth of doctrine, or faith,
by an external way, into the memory,
where it is called forth by the Lord
in His own time and according to His own order,
and is conjoined with the affection of good.
This is done in a person's freedom;
for as before said, a person's freedom is from affection.

AC 2881
If mankind could have been reformed by compulsion,
there would not be any person in the universe who would not be saved;
for nothing would be easier for the Lord
than to compel a person to fear Him, to worship Him,
and indeed as it were to love Him;
the means being innumerable.
But as that which is done under compulsion is not conjoined,
and thus is not appropriated,
it is therefore the furthest [thing] possible from the Lord to compel anyone.
