This week in class we had a long discussion about free will. God gives us free will and a choice to believe in him and love him. He gives us this option because he wants our love for him to be genuine/real. If he creates us to believe and love him than we do not have the choice to do so. Therefore, that love or belief would not be genuine. Everyone is born with free will, including Jesus. Jesus was given the choice to die for us, and to show us that we should all love God the way he does. When Jesus asked his father why he was doing this to him, God chose to stay quiet, because he wanted to give Jesus the choice to love him. Jesus has free will just like the rest of us. |
