You say true enough then go on to contradict yourself...

i did nothing of the sort. God loves his creations, and you cannot have true love without freewill. God gave lucifer freewill, and also man.

...by saying the gift can be grieved away.

you are trying to argue that salvation is just a blip or moment in time, and after you accept Christ's gift of salvation, you cannot--no matter how hard you try--choose to turn away from the Lord and throw that gift away permanently. you are arguing that God ceases to give us freewill after we are saved. he won't let us turn away from him no matter how often or how hard we try. i'm sorry, but that is utter foolishness.

The Lord is able to renew us to repentence

but the choice resides with you! peter chose to repent after denying and cursing his Lord. then he returned to the Lord. david repented and turned again toward the Lord. judas did not return to the Lord! he hung himself, demonstrating that he had lost his faith.
