   He desires us to follow him of our own free will and commitment. He gave the   
   Born Again ones the power of His Holy Spirit to do so, should we truly seek   
   him with all out heart.   
      
   Lucifer in heaven of his own free will made his choice to sin and drew away   
   1/3 of all the angels in heaven to follow him, and his path led to hell, and   
   later to the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. Why? When he had all the blessings   
   of God.   
      
   God is looking for Sons, not Robots without a will and a strong desire for   
   all that is Good and peace and Love. His sacrifice saved us from much in this   
   life as well as unto an eternity with him, Is God not worthy?   
   Really? Is He not worth all our love and commitment?   
      
   We are, after all. to consider ourselves dead to sin, in this life.   
      
   Should we behave to our wives better than our marriage to Him?
