Free choice is a basic part of God’s plan, from the Garden of Eden to the book of Revelation. He put us here to make choices between good and evil, between doing right or doing wrong, between serving God or ourselves or the Devil. Free choice also shows what happens if people are allowed to have their own way and go their own way, without God. God didn’t stop Adam and Eve when they made the wrong choice in the Garden of Eden, but He did punish them. To see the consequences of our choices and our actions, whether right or wrong, is a great lesson to us and the entire universe. This is why God is now allowing man, by his own hand, to bring the earth from the heaven on earth He created to a state of virtual hell on earth: to demonstrate what a horrible mess results when His creations rebel against Him. So God has His reasons for allowing the world to get into such a state, and one of the main reasons is to give us a chance to choose. Are you choosing God’s way, or your own? — 2 Corinthians 5:10 ESV - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Proverbs 28:13 ESV - Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Ezekiel 18:20 ESV - The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
