“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:13-14 NIV
God has given us the gift of free will
We are allowed to choose how we will respond to everything
Why did He do this?
Considering the risk and after all the things humans have chosen to do wrong starting with Adam and Eve, why allow us to choose?
I believe it is because real love, joy and goodness offered voluntarily is the only kind worth having…the risk of poor choices, of course, is why bad things happen in the world
Use your free will to offer goodness, kindness, love and joy to God and others
(Happy 30th Anniversary to my beloved wife…so thankful that God brought us together and continues to guide our marriage and family…I Love You!)
“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want.”
Galatians 5:16-17 NIV
