This is simply beautiful. An article by Tom from Rapture in the Air. Stunning truth and such a comfort. Yes, we were given free will - right from the beginning. But we had to learn - we had to be shown. Evil had to enter our world in order for us to actually exercise that free will. We had to be given choices. Our LORD has made our salvation easily obtainable - through Jesus Christ - BUT we have to make the choice. It has to be a free will thing. A conscious decision. Choose evil (through belief in the actual existence of tangible evil) or choose good (through the belief in our LORD's blood sacrifice and belief in the actual existence of tangible good) - simples!  Read this article with your spirit. It will strengthen your faith and help you fully recognise that God Almighty is fully in control. We have no reason to fear.
