That's embedded into a feeling. But then the other side of love is also an action which is accompanied by choice. So this is why you see married couples who have been married for years and years and years and years. You ask them, you know, what has kept you married for so long?
That's embedded into a feeling. But then the other side of love is also an action which is accompanied by choice. So this is why you see married couples who have been married for years and years and years and years. You ask them, you know, what has kept you married for so long?
Why have you been able to keep your marriage so, so, so great and tied together and rooted in Christ and all these things? And these couples will say each and every single time you have to choose to love one another because there will be days where you wake up and you don't want to feel like love for that person, but it's an active choice.

So love is an action which is accompanied by choice, right? So in order for us to experience love for God and for him to experience compassion for us, there has to be choice in the midst of all of this, which means in order for us to have choice, there has to be an opportunity for us to exercise free will.
So love is an action which is accompanied by choice, right? So in order for us to experience love for God and for him to experience compassion for us, there has to be choice in the midst of all of this, which means in order for us to have choice, there has to be an opportunity for us to exercise free will.
And so the reason as to why free will had to happen and why there is ultimate good and ultimate evil is because whenever you don't have the power to choose, you don't have the power to love. So God gave the power of choice and he limited his power in order for his creation to freely choose God, even if he knew the expense of it, because he wanted to experience a relationship.

Because if God forced you to love him, would you consider that love? Yeah. No, because God is forcing you to love him. So love wouldn't truly exist because it's represented by dictatorship.

So what the Lord God had made for us to experience and why suffering had to come into the world is because whenever you don't choose God, when you don't choose love, which he is the definition of, you are choosing the other side, which is ultimately sin.
So what the Lord God had made for us to experience and why suffering had to come into the world is because whenever you don't choose God, when you don't choose love, which he is the definition of, you are choosing the other side, which is ultimately sin.
And sin is the absence of God because there's people who indulge in sin and they think that it's good and they're, oh, well, this isn't harming my life and this isn't hurting me. But it is declaring separation from God. And that's what sin is. Sin is separation fully from God. And God doesn't want to create a creation or a species to where he's unrelational because God is good. God is just.

God is loving. He is the definition of love. And he wants to experience creation with humans. Like he wants to partner with us. And I think that's really special. And so while the earth was created for us to be in perfect harmony with God, God limited his power. And then through that, because Adam and Eve didn't choose God, they chose sin and therefore entered into the world.

And then through that, because Adam and Eve didn't choose God, they chose sin and therefore entered into the world.
And so the next question would be, well, if Adam and Eve sin, what does that have to do with me? Why do I have to struggle and be in suffering because of what Adam and Eve did? Like, I don't even know them. They lived like thousands and thousands of years ago. What does that have to do with me? Because the moment that Adam and Eve sinned, after them, their sons, they sinned.

And then after them, they sinned. And then this is literally how the human... species was created through repopulation and sin became hereditary and it started a widespread and it kept continuously happening but God had a beginning from the start that he was even going to use sin in the midst to bring people back to the heart of God again
