Norman L. Geisler Quote
All moral choices are free choices. No one can be praised or blamed for an act in which they had no free choice. If they were forced to do it, then they can’t get either credit or blame. Hence if God destroyed all freedom, He would be destroying all possibility to love, praise, and worship Him – to say nothing of destroying all possibility of our enjoying His or other people’s love, praise, and sacrifice on our behalf.
