Free But Warned
The garden was pristine and beautiful as Adam and Eve walked slowly through the trees, looking at all God had given them. God said “I have made it all for you but only don’t touch the one tree in the midst of the garden, or you will die.God gives us freedom but He is not irresponsible. He warned them of the danger of wrong choices. Today He still shouts out wisdom from His eternal Word. If you do something’s, it will kill you. If you do something’s, you will end up in bondage, so don’t commit adultery, don’t steal and don’t worship false Gods.You are free to choose but there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of that thing, is death. Often men do things that will hurt themselves or other people, then wish that God had stepped, in to avoid it happing.Why doesn’t He step in and stop the young man from crashing off the road, while drunk. Why doesn’t he step in and stop people from free choices and their harmful actions. If some ones drunk He doesn’t hide the keys, but He has already said “Don’t be drunk.” He doesn’t he stop the teenager from getting pregnant but He has already said “Do not fornicate.”Friend God gives His intervention up front by way of warnings. If we fail to heed them He will not interfere with our choices.
