WHY ARE WE FREE?

QUESTION: Why did God give us free will if he could have just programmed us to always do the right thing and always choose the best?

FREEDOM AND MORALITY “Freedom is so central to the moral life that without it we cannot properly speak of being moral persons at all. If we are beyond freedom, then we are beyond morality.” -Richard Gula

ORIGINAL SIN What was the Original Sin? “God knows well that the moment you eat of [the fruit] your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods.” –The Serpent (Genesis 3:5) And what happened after they ate it? “they realized that they were naked.” (3:7) It was PRIDE that led to DISOBEDIENCE

CONCUPISCENCE Definition: The human inclination to sin, originating from Original Sin. So what does Baptism do? Baptism washes us free from the GUILT of Original Sin, but… Concupiscence remains

Catechism #1730 "God willed that man should be 'left in the hand of his own counsel,' so that he might of his own accord: seek his Creator and freely attain his full and blessed perfection by cleaving to [God].” We are made free so that we may ON OUR OWN choose to love & follow GOD We are never forced to love. It’s impossible.
