Volition

Just like He did with the angels in eternity past, God created the first man and woman with volition. Remember, Adam and Eve each had a soul, and from that invisible soul they could make choices. The most important decision Adam and Eve had to make was to obey or disobey God.

Volition

All the angels and all human beings—including you—have volition. We all decide for ourselves whether to say YES or NO to anything, any thought, or anyone we encounter.

Volition

Think about it: All day long, you decide which things you like or don’t like. You decide which activities you want to do and which you don’t want to do. You even choose the people you would like to have as friends and decide which ones you want to stay away from.

Volition

That decision maker is at work all the time, even when you don’t realize it. When your parents and teachers give you rules, you decide whether you’re going to say YES or NO to those rules—You choose to follow them or break them. Even if that decision takes only the teeniest fraction of a second to make, it’s still you’re volition at work. You make the choice!

Volition

As a believer in Jesus Christ, you make choices to do things God’s way or your way.

Volition

God’s ways of doing things are always right. We learn God’s ways by learning Bible doctrine. If you do things His way, you’re saying YES to God.

Volition

Your ways of doing things are always wrong. “Your way” means you’re doing things differently from what the Bible teaches. If you do things your way, you're saying NO to God.

Volition

God’s ways are good choices.

Your ways are bad choices.

Good choices bring good results.

Bad choices bring bad results.

Good job!
