Choices! We have so many choices in our life.
Not only do we have choices to love but we must choose how much we will love or how much we will hate.
God has allowed us to choose how much we will hate or how much we will love.
After the creation of God's son, that was the beginning of all creation, and
the establishing the foundation of the heaven and earth.
And it was all created with the emphasis of every living creature was to worship our creator through the basis of free choice.
After the creation of Christ, Heaven & Earth, now was time for a being ( or new creature )
to be created with a purpose to share all of God's creations
with a free will to serve with a loving obedience. ( MT. 22: 36- 39
By creating man with a free will, now the test.
After giving Adam free choice to name all the creatures and all the living.
He was to keep and to maintain this paradise.
He gave Adam only one option, Not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil, this was God's only commandment.
Eve's choice to eat of the tree, to gain the wisdom of God was through
free will and desire, ( 2 Cor. 11:3, Cor. 10: 5,6.
Due to the direct disobedience of God's will, mankind has been put into a
situation of choice, to obey and to serve God. MT 6: 24. with their own
free will.
God did not try to tempt Adam by giving Adam the power of choice. The only way we can love God is through the power of free will choice. With the option to choose between obedience or disobedience to God's will, man now has the capability to love God. God gave Adam the tremendous opportunity to offer love, from his heart, to God. Trust, obedience and faithfulness were Adam's tools for sharing love with God. Upon man receiving free will toward the command of God, now, not only does God love man, but man can fulfill his purpose in life and love God in return.
Throughout the Bible we find that God holds up choices to people - life or death, righteousness or sin, justice or deceit - but He continually encourages us to make the right choices. There are continual choices for all of us throughout life - indeed, every day of our lives, but then there is this major choice as to whether we will obey God. Again, I reiterate: the fact that God has given mankind a genuine choice but mankind has made the wrong one is clearly proven by the presence of evil in the world. Obviously sin and evil would not have been God's choice for men and women, so its presence means that people really were given a genuine choice by God but that they made the wrong one! If we deny that, then that means that God approved of and wanted sin and evil in this world and that turns God into a monster! No, the Bible is clear that the decisions by our first parents have led to the position which we now find ourselves in. Of course, within His grand overall plan, God may allow a situation to occur with an eventual intention to bring good out of it, but the Holy Bible is clear that human choice – which is revealed to be meaningful – brought the present situation about.
Allowing mankind the ability to choose does not rob God of His Sovereignty because man’s choices are not unlimited and God controls all circumstances. We all have free will within the parameters set by God. God is omnipotent. “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.” Isaiah 46:9-10. “The Lord does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth” Psalms 135:6. He created man with the ability to choose, and He is perfectly capable of incorporating all the possible choices of mankind into his sovereign will and purpose because, before the world was created, He already knew what all those choices were going to be. He is the One who makes ‘known the end from the beginning.’
Love, by its very nature, must be freely given from one being to another. It is the choices of love for God, which we create under free will, that God is incapable of creating Himself. These human choices to share love with God are the gifts of love that God created the universe for and sacrificed His only Son to retrieve. The choices to do God's will under free will are the most precious gifts to God in all the created heaven and earth. Those who are fruitful and bear such gifts will be exalted and brought through Christ's blood into God's Kingdom. In the Kingdom, God will remain faithful to those who love Him for all eternity. God has set before baptized men life and death, therefore choose to love God and live.

Since the beginning God has given us the Right, the power, and the freedom to choose, between light and darkness, good or evil, love or hate. With the Free Will to choose for ourselves our own way, to find our own destiny, and not have others, or the collective, or society, or the government, choose for us. What is best for the individual, may not be what others think is best for the collective, society or government. We need to be free to live our lives as we so choose, as individuals. We can and should decide for ourselves the course of our own lives and destiny, to be individual and free. Please do not think I am advocating choosing darkness, evil, hate or self-destructive behavior, what I am advocating, and what I know God has given us, is the inalienable right of choice.
We have to have the power to choose our own way, to be true to our own beliefs and ourselves, to be our own person, to be free sovereign autonomous individuals, to have the Right to self-determination. We must be ever vigilant, to stay forever free and be forever free, to be all that we can be, and the best we can be, free, in the freest nation on earth.
But what are the advantages and disadvantages of man's free will? We need to keep in mind that freedom of choice allows for both good and evil outcomes. The cost can be enormous. Our choices can lead to disastrous consequences.
Everything lies in the freedom of choice that we possess as human beings. Our liberation and our bondage. There is no other species that has the power to choose to evolve. In light of this discovery, you have to ask yourself: What am I doing with the gift of choice that is my birthright as a human being? How am I living? Am I fully and wholeheartedly participating in the life process for the sake of the evolution of consciousness itself?
