Freedom to choose

 Don’t ever let anybody tell you that you have been predestined to go to hell. You have the freedom to decide otherwise. We are not machines. We are human beings. You are free to do as you wish, but it takes the grace of God for you to do as you ought.

You say, “Well I can do whatever I want.” That is true, but you see the problem is with your “wanter.” You always want what is wrong until you have the grace of God in your heart. The only reason that you can choose to do right is because He first chose you. But you still are free to choose.

God has issued a call. He has invited you. God’s Word says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). He will give you the power to come, and today if you want to come, you can. You have the freedom to decide.
