Why Doesn’t God Just Make The World |
||||||
God created man with choices and consequences (the Bible calls it "sowing and reaping"). The worldly mindset would want to say people "can’t help it; they simply responded the way they did because of their background or upbringing; it’s not their fault." These, of course, are not correct. We are responsible for the choices we make. It is possible that difficult circumstances in our lives make it easier for us to make a wrong choice, but there is still that decision that we make, and we are held responsible for it (as was Adam and Eve). God has given man a free will to choose whether to follow Him or not. God did not make us robots and will not ever force anyone to follow Him (see Genesis 3). God desires for us to make the choice (John 3:16). The "god" of this world is not our Father God. God had given this beautiful world to man, then Adam and Eve forfeited it to the enemy of our souls, the devil. He is the "god" of this world; and he will wreak as much havoc, death, destruction, strife, etc., as he possibly can. He hates us -- God’s creation. But "greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world" (I John 4:4). God has chosen to work through man; so as we take our place as "joint-heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:17), and pray as we should for our land, our leaders, and our world, this opens up an avenue through which God can work. |
