We have an eternal free choice. We have an eternal free will. God has given us an eternal free will and minute independence and He leaves our decisions up to us. He’s in our heart but He doesn’t make us do anything. It’s other people that try to make us do stuff. God doesn’t. He lets us choose.
Why? Because ultimately He wants us to love him and love is a choice. You can’t make somebody love you. There are people all over this planet trying to make somebody else love them. Can’t do it. You might make them cook for you, wash your clothes, satisfy your sexual desires, you might make them do many things. But you cannot make them love you. They have to choose that. So love is very special. That is why we have an eternal free will.
