Bro. Eli Soriano explains that although God is powerful and knows everything, He gave humans the freedom to make their own choices. God doesn't force anyone to follow a particular path. Instead, He gives us options like choosing between good and evil and allows us to decide for ourselves. The teacher also points to the Bible where God says, “I have set before you life and death... choose life.” This shows that our future is shaped more by our decisions than by a fixed destiny controlled by God.
Bro. Eli also makes it clear that just because God knows what will happen doesn’t mean He causes it to happen. He allows people to go through life and face the results of their actions. He gives examples like King Saul and Judas Iscariot both made bad choices that led to their downfall, not because God wanted them to fail, but because they refused to listen and follow the right path, even when they were warned.
To sum it up, Bro. Eli teaches that God doesn’t control our fate like a puppet master. Instead, He guides us, teaches us, and gives us the freedom to make choices. It’s up to us to follow His will and live right. This message reminds us that our actions matter, and we are responsible for what happens in our lives.
