Freedom to Obey God
Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 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.”
Before woman was formed from Adams side, before Adam even realized he lacked companionship, God spoke to him. Not as a dictator, but as a loving Father. Adam, you can have it all but just not that one. For that one tree will kill you.
So, why even have the tree there in the 1st place? How fair is this? Just logical questions. God didnt make robots. He created man to choose Him or reject Him for reasons unknown to me, but in His wisdom. Even though man can choose God, he can as well reject God. The freedom God gave us to choose to obey is amazing. This is the only way our choice can be meaningful is if we can choose. He also gives us an education for our choices. Life or death?
