How much control do we have?
We have no control over anything in this life, from the right to getting born to the way we die and anything that falls in between these two events!

We have all the control, spiritually speaking. God gave all, free will. If He manipulated that in any way, then it wouldn't be free will. He never forces anyone to do anything. Not even to choose Him as our personal Savior. That's strictly [i]our[/i] choice. God loves all. If anyone rejects His Plan of Salvation, and says, “I don't need you. I want nothing to do with you.” God shall honor their request, but we can't say it was He that separated us from Him for eternity. By our own tongue, we condemn ourselves to eternal seperation from God. Sin cannot enter heaven. If so, it wouldn't be heaven. He said in His Word that he is not willing that ANY should perish or be separated from him. His utmost desire is to save every person on earth. That's why He came.
