The choice to have a choice is NOT for Man to choose or decide. That’s our Maker’s choice – that’s God’s prerogative. God gave Adam and Eve the Freedom of Will to choose.
In the garden of Eden, God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. Adam was given a CHOICE to obey or not to obey.
‘And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”’ Genesis 2:16, 17
God created man after His own image. One of the things that this implies is that man is given a free choice to decide whether to obey God or disobey.
If man is to be free to make a choice, then there must be something to choose between and without the existence of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then no choice would have been possible for Adam & Eve.
NOTE God’s Rescue Plan for mankind even before the foundation of the world:
“And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.” 1 Peter 1:17-21
However the rescue plan will still depend on your CHOICE to want to BE SAVED or REDEEMED from the destiny in hell or NOT – that’s Your decision that GOD our Creator will always respect and honour – because He granted you this option: your inalienable right to choose while living and alive on this earth.
