Sermon 20: Free Will Isn’t Really
We spend every waking moment, every day, evaluating events and making decisions regarding them, receiving data and responding to it. We have complete control regarding our choices and are able to make them at will. Will we do something or not do it? Will we be obediant or rebel? Will we follow or will we lead elsewhere?
We have free will to do the choosing, but the choosing does not come free of consequences. Experiencing the consequences of our choices is what instills in us our personal Knowledge of Good and Evil. These experiences, throughout our life on earth, will eventually lead to our being able to make informed choices where the consequences are satisfying to us. We, then, will ultimately be able to easily identify and choose Good in every situation, be completely blinded to Evil, and thus be ready to appreciate Heaven for the Paradise that it is.
Free will allows us only the freedom of choice, not the freedom to create our own destiny. Our final destiny is Heaven. Our final destiny is God’s will, which is all powerful. You will never, ever be able to use your free will to avoid your path to Heaven. God will never let that happen because He loves us perfectly. God already sees the Good in everything about us. We discover this in the first chapter of the Bible. “And God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31).
God is witnessing everything you do. This is why you experience unfavorable consequences of your actions, such as internal torment, even if you are the only one who has any knowledge of what you’ve done. God is always making sure you are learning the lessons you need to enter His Kingdom of Heaven. The farther you stray from the path, the bumpier God makes it. And He will never stop correcting you – even if His corrections become hellish.
So, make life easy for yourself. Do what God wants you to do. Of your own free will. Or suffer the consequences.
