Free will is not a privilege;
it is a punishment~
the penalty for yielding
to temptation.
When Adam and Eve
bit into that fruit,
all of us paid for their sin.
The price of freedom
is death~
both physical and spiritual.
But God sent His son
on our behalf
to experience
the suffering we deserved.
Now all we must do
is belong to Him again,
and we are truly free.
But He does not
call us slaves,
we are His children.
He bought us from the world,
gave His Son, a ransom
in exchange for our sin,
and liberated us from
Satan’s bondage.
