Freedom of Choice?
An interesting thought that can be perplexing. If we have the freedom of choice, ultimately, which choice would we make - life or death? God or sin? eternal blessing or eternal damnation? Which would you choose as you have them placed side-by-side?
Let me approach this from another angle. If Adam and Eve had the perfect world, no sin, no death, no mourning, no sickness - and they had perfect freedom of choice - what choice did they make? These folks walked in complete fellowship with God before the Fall. They had only one decision to make or not to make, with the full presence of God before them. What did they choose?
It seems that the idea that we can choose better than Adam and Eve is just difficult to swallow. That in our sin-laden world where we have more than one choice to make or not to make (or perhaps it is just that simple still), and yet without the full fellowship that they knew, how can we choose God instead of sin? What gives us the ability to choose better than our ancestors?
