- Charles Spurgeon

About this Quote

This quote by Charles Spurgeon speaks with the power of free will and how it can lead us astray. It recommends that while we have the power to make our own choices, those choices can have alarming consequences. We can choose to do things that lead us far from God and towards sin, and those choices can lead us to hell. However, no matter just how much free choice we have, it can not lead us to heaven. Heaven is just available through God's grace and mercy, and no amount of free will can change that. This quote serves as a reminder that we should bear in mind our options and aim to make decisions that will lead us closer to God and far from sin.
