Free Will - Choice and Consequence Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV) 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. Free will is one of the greatest gifts that God has given us. Whether we know it or not, it is one of the greatest expressions of His Love toward us - the power to choose. Life is a constant series of choices, all day every day. However, we must be very cautious in this area. The reason being, that although we have the power to choose, we do not have the power to choose what the consequences of our decisions will be. For example, we have the choice to touch a scolding hot burner on the stove, but we do not have the choice to not get burned. We have the choice to speak whatever words we choose, but we do not have the choice to erase them as if they were never spoken. We have the choice as to whether we will obey our consciences or not, but we do not have the choice of how this will affect us or the people around us. When wrong choices are made, conscience will always be looking for someone or something to pay a price. This is where accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior comes in. When Jesus is the Lord of our life, then no matter what bad choices we have made, no matter what the consequences might be, we can be assured that when conscience comes calling, looking for someone or something to pay a price, we can rest easy, at peace, knowing that He has already paid the price for us. In Christ, All is forgiven, All is forgotten, Life and Blessing will reign. Acts 13:38-39 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man Jesus Christ, is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by Him ALL that believe are justified from ALL things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses (the Ten Commandments).
