I know am not alone in this thought. If God truly loves us as he claims he does why doesn't he just pull us up to heaven? I mean he’s all powerful isn't he? And nothing is impossible for him so am pretty sure it won’t cost him a thing to do it, I mean I’m not God but if I were him and I loved the world as he does I’d do just that. Why do some of us have to go to hell? In fact why did he allow Adam and eve do what they did in the first place? Or should I say why did he create the tree they ate from? Why not just keep the knowledge in something better than a fruit? Somewhere they will never go near. I mean he knows the end of a thing from the beginning so he must have known the serpent will cause them to fall.
Popular answers will tell us that it’s his unsearchable ways. The “mystery of God”, well he’s my father and my friend and just as his word says he will not hide stuff from us. The above questions and more have long bothered my mind and I was so relieved when I got an answer.
CHOICE
If I told you I will take you shopping for anything you wanted and we arrive at a shop where only black colored nokia c3 are sold and then said “choose whatever you want” you know that ain't choice. Choice is taking you to place where all sorts of phones are sold, I mean all sorts; the beautiful, the ugly, diff colors and shapes, the chincos, the fairly used, the virus infected, the out of date, the ones in trend even the scraps, i could keep going but I know you get the point now.
Choice is what the most high has given us and in order to do that he has presented us with all the options like his word rightly said “I give you life and death but I’d rather you choose life”. He created us for the purpose of worship, worship not praise. I can mock-praise a person or praise just for favor done but worship comes from willingness, from the heart. He wants worship and so he created us, and to get that worship he can’t force us and thus he presents us with all he options.
