Tomorrow, 21 March is Human Rights Day. This got me thinking about the first, most important human right God gave to man. The right to choose. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden, it was because they had exercised this right. God will never override this right. He desires for us to love and serve him of our own free will and that is why he will never deny us the opportunity to walk away from him.
All sin does have consequences. The consequences of choosing to disobey God is separation from his presence. Jesus came so that he could pay for our sins and reunite us with God and allow us open access to his presence and give us the right to stand before God pure, holy and without blemish.
Joshua said to his people, "Choose you this day whom you will serve, but for me and my house, we will serve the Lord". Are you going to choose to serve God with your whole heart?
