Since the dawn of time, humans were created with choice and since then we have lived our lives making various choice.

▪ What to eat and when to eat

▪ What to wear and were to wear it

▪ What to read, watch and what to buy

▪ Who to marry and when to marry

▪ Names to give our children

▪ Schools to take them to...

Our choices are infinite

Many people believe Adam & Eve had the ability of choice after eating the fruit, but in truth God created man with it.

  • Genesis 1:26 KJV

  • And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

God already have the ability of choice, that is why He Could create the heavens and the earth because he choose to. Man was created in the image of God. Therefore the fruit did not give Adam & Eve the ability of choice they were created with it. The fruit only made them wise, to know the difference between good and bad, right from wrong. In other words the fruit made them know & understand the effectd of their choices.

Knowing this, the serpent did not force Eve, he only gave Eve an idea & tried to convince Eve. But the decision was for Eve to make, in other words Eve had a choice in the matter.

  • Genesis 3:4-5 KJV

  • And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

The first important choice made by man was the wrong one. The sin was then passed down to all decendants of Adam.

  • 1 Corinthians 15:22 KJV

  • For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Our Society Today

In our today lives, many say humans are born with the tendency to commit evil. Which means to di evil is natural to man. This is infact wrong.

Humans are not born with thr ability to commit evil, but are born with the ability of choice. The devil being aware of this has manipulated & decievied man, that we now find it easier to do evil than good. Such as lieing, stealing, cheating, killing etc. We feel it's the quickest way to get out of trouble than actually being honest or doing good.

That is why in most cases you see thay to do good is taught. Just as you teach the young ones how to be honest, and good citizens in schools & sunday school. But evil comes naturally, no one teaches their young ones how to lie or cheat before they do.

What choice have you made?
