In fact, we have a choice of freedom of heart to follow God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.
Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.
We are spirit children of a loving Heavenly Father who placed us in mortality to see if we would choose - freely choose - to keep His commandments and come unto His Beloved Son. They do not compel us. They cannot, for that would interfere with the plan of happiness. And so there is in us a God-given desire to be responsible for our own choices.
God wants us to serve willingly and obediently.
In America, through pressure of conformity, there is freedom of choice, but nothing to choose from.
We must believe in free will, we have no choice.
Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.
Religious freedom opens a door for Americans that is closed to too many others around the world. But whether we walk through that door, and what we do with our lives after we do, is up to us.
All is foreseen, but freedom of choice is given.
For it is, and must remain, the case that we must obey God rather than man.
