Free to choose.( Deuteronomy 30 v 15)

 The poet Whittier wrote,  'For  all the sad words of tongue or pen,  The saddest are these;' It might have been'.    The greatest tragedy that ever happened took place in the garden of Eden,God give clear instructions to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,He told them the consequences,if they did Adam and Eve would die.(Genesis 2 v 17). Alas they disobeyed,they died,for the wages of sin is death ,and all that followed had the stench of death upon it ,for we inherited a sinful nature.If only they had not sinned,if only they had obeyed,what might have been.Very sad and very depressing,yet God had a plan a rescue plan a plan filled with hope,from what have been,for what could be,a Saviour would come,His name would be Jesus.Through His death and resurrection we could be forgiven all our sins,and death would not hold us, we could experience eternal life.It depends on one thing obedience to the gospel,would we believe on Christ as our Saviour ,God has given us the freedom of  choice,just like he granted to Adam and Eve.What will be your choice, will it be life by accepting Christ?,or  death by rejecting Him?, the choice is yours.
