Don’t Abuse Your Free Will
“Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,” (Matthew 24:12)
God has given human beings the gift of free will. Because He has granted you free will, God will never make you do something. He will not force you to do something, even if it is not what He desires. He will abide by your personal will.
However, God allows you to experience the fruit of your decisions. If you choose to say “Yes” to the evil one, you will experience the taste of that fruit, which is not pleasing. He could bring destruction upon you personally, to your family, and to those around you. Therefore, you need to choose wisely with each decision you make.
Just because you have free will, it doesn’t give you the right to justify sinful behavior in your life. As a believer, stop listening to men who preach, “It's okay to do this, or okay to walk this way.” Stop embracing the culture of our day that says, “As long as it's not hurting anyone, it's okay.” You need to realize it is not okay. It is not acceptable for them or for you. Jesus said that in the last days, “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,” (Matthew 24:12)
This is why it is so important to stay close to Jesus and stay immersed in His Word and His truth. When the world tells us to abuse our free will to do whatever we want, we need to remember that we are called to use our free will to honor the Lord and obey Him. After all, if we love Him, we will obey Him.
Don’t choose to abuse the gift of free will that God has given you. Instead, continue following Him. Make decisions that will bring honor and glory to Him rather than making decisions that only benefit you.
