“The Lord created humankind
In the beginning.
He left them
With the power
Of their own free choice.
If you chose,
You can keep the commandments.
To act faithfully
Is a matter of your own choice.
He has placed before you fire.
He had placed before you water.
Stretch out your hand
For whichever you wish.
Before each person
Is life and death.
Whichever one chooses
Will be given.”
God created us humans. He left us with a free choice. We can choose to follow the commandments faithfully or not. It is our choice, like fire and water. Which do we want? We have the choice of life or death. Whichever we choose, we will receive. The choice is ours.
