Freedom to Choose

Sometimes humans complain and forget that . . . God gave us the Freedom to Choose (predestination not wthstanding!). You can be sure no one who ends up in hell in eternity can accuse the just & loving God of not giving him/her the free will to choose.

“We are people who have faith and are saved.” Hebrews 10:39

God honors us with the freedom to choose where we spend eternity.

And what an honor it is! In so many areas of life we have no choice. Think about it. You didn’t choose your gender. You didn’t choose your siblings. You didn’t choose your race or place of birth.

Sometimes our lack of choices angers us. “It’s not fair,” we say. It’s not fair that I was born in poverty or that I sing so poorly or that I run so slowly. But the scales of life were forever tipped on the side of fairness when God planted a tree in the Garden of Eden. All complaints were silenced when Adam and his descendants were given free will, the freedom to make whatever eternal choice we desire. Any injustice in this like offset by the honor of choosing our destiny in the next.
