Something I read today. And something to really consider. My mind is a bit BLOWN. One beauty of Gods creation is this: if youre not willing to accept Christ, then youre free to reject Him. This freedom to make choices-even the freedom to reject truth-is what makes us moral creatures and enables each of us to choose our ultimate destiny. This really hits at the heart of why we exist at all, and why God might not be as overt in revealing Himself to us as some would like. For if the Bible is true, then God has provided each of us with the opportunity to make an eternal choice to either accept Him or reject Him. And in order to ensure that our choice is truly free, He puts us in an environment that is filled with evidence of His existence, but without His direct presence-a presence so powerful that it could overwhelm our freedom and this negate our ability to reject Him. In other words, God has provided enough evidence in this life to convince anyone willing to believe, yet He has also left some ambiguity so as not to compel the unwilling. In this way, God gives us the opportunity either to love Him or reject Him without violating our freedom. In fact, the purpose of this life is to make that choice freely and without coercion. For love, by definition must be freely given. It cannot be coerced. -Frank Turek
