FREEDOM OF CHOICE - - FREE WILL
GALATIANS
6: 7
BE NOT DECEIVED – WALK IN VICTORY
The word
will
means a person’s freedom to make choices.
God created man, with complete freedom of will. Adam had perfect liberty to choose
between good and evil, and the ability to implement that choice.
Free will, a gift of God enable’s genuine loving
relationships based on choice rather than coercion. It is one of the things that makes us like
God, in that we have the ability to choose to love God and others, or to reject
that love.
. As a result of the work of the “DEVIL” - Deception, Disobedience,
and Corruption of man’s nature in
Genesis, man’s free will is now averse to choosing good and much more inclined
to choose evil. Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good
for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he did eat.
Isaiah gives us a warning for this present day; Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call
Evil Good, and Good Evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in
their own sight!
Paul tells us of the Day
& Time we are living in; - 2 Timothy 3:13, but Evil men seducers shall wax
worse and worse, Deceiving, and being Deceived.
The Lord has
redeemed us; and, in his Word, he has set before us HIS WILL and HIS WAY for
our lives. As His redeemed people, we are each responsible to God for obeying
His Will, and following His Ways. We align our Will with God’s Will, our
choices with his choices, and our plans daily with His plan. This way we
exercise our free will in a manner that is glorifying to God, and that is in
full accordance with his purposes for our lives.
BE NOT DECEIVED
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in
the Lord with all thine
heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge
him, and he shall direct thy paths.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam All Die, even so in Christ shall All be made Alive.
