No Choice
Joshua 24:15 …choose you this day whom ye will serve… You would think by some people’s actions that they have no choice whatsoever if they go to heaven or hell, but let me assure you they do! You’ve heard, “Well, there’s just gonna be so many saved, if you’re not one of the chosen ones it’s just too bad”. Not So!! John 3:16 says “Whosoever”.
From the beginning God gave man a choice. God placed the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden. God gave them a strict command not to eat of its’ fruit. Of all the trees in the Garden this was the only one restricted for them. After hearing the command and being told the consequences, they then had a choice, to obey or disobey. And we all know what their choice was, because we’re still suffering from it today. No man is an island. The decisions you make always affect others. Have you ever heard a drunk say, “I’m not hurting anybody”? And their children are suffering. God could have kept them in a place of protection. He could have kept them from sinning, and kept the devil away from them.
SO WHY DIDN’T HE?
God isn’t some kind of dictator, sitting on a Throne. He doesn’t attach strings on us and make us dance to His tune, like we were puppets. He gives us a choice to serve Him and love Him or not. There are many things with no choice.
