When God created human beings in the divine image of God, God also gave us free will. Free will may not seem like a particularly big deal since we exercise free will every waking moment, from choosing what we’ll eat for breakfast, to how we’ll treat the people we meet throughout the day, to what thoughts we’ll dwell on as we fall asleep at night. We may take free will for granted. But the fact that God entrusts us with free will is simply astonishing.
