Choice is a freedom each person has. God invests each of us with the freedom to choose. It is a very real freedom. We have the freedom to choose right. But that would be meaningless if there were not also the possibility that we would choose wrong. If there were no potential for evil, then our God-given freedom would be like the offerings of the old Ford Motor Company: “You can choose any color as long as it’s black.” A choice that is no choice at all.
