WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?
Man has been given freedom of choice in this
world, for this world is for the trial of man, and
man can only be tested if he is free to do as he wills-
—if he is free to choose between right and wrong,
and free to use the opportunities and potentialities
which he has been given in whatever manner he
chooses. His freedom, however, will be short-lived.
If anyone wishes to reject the truth in this world, he
will have no difficulty in finding words with which
to justify himself. If anyone wishes to deny the true
call to religion, he will find other beliefs in which he
can take refuge. If anyone chooses to ignore God’s
call, he will find other things to hold on to in this
world which will lull him into a false sense of
security. When the true nature of things is revealed,
however, the props on which he depended in the
world will be exposed as false and unreal.
When man rises from the dead, and God appears in
all His glory, man will be helpless before the Lord.
He will have no choice but to accept that which he
used to deny in the world.
