A lot of preachers teach that "Freewill" is your choice to believe or disbelieve in God.  Of course they also teach that we are all God's children and everyone can be saved.

These are great doctrines for filling the pews and collection plate...but they're not true. 

Remember, just because everyone believes something is true, doesn't make it truth.

Do Not Be Deceived: Everyone believes in God...even demons (James 2:19) but we are not all God's children and not everyone will be or can be saved.  Life and blessing come from obedience...you won't obey until you are reborn Spiritually.  The temptations of this world are simply too great to overcome without the Spirit of God helping you.

God's rules were not meant to punish, but to insure a good life.  Everything God does is for our benefit. He knows if you will "walk in his ways and obey his voice," you will have a happy, healthy, wealthy life.  If you choose to disobey, expect a life of misery.  Note: I'm talking about God's kids; the devil's kids have a different game plan and rule book. 

He's not an ogre.  It pains him to see his children disobey, but like sin, obedience and disobedience is a choice we make willingly.  People disobey because they don't really believe God is real.  They don't know he's real, because they haven't been born again.

You see, until you're reborn Spiritually, you won't know, without a doubt, God is real.  Which is why Jesus said, "Ye must be born again."  Until then...nothing else matters.
