Choice

God does not force us to do anything. He causes us to do them. There's a difference between the two. In the first case we might imagine us being marrionet puppets - you know those wooden puppets with strings tied to their arms and legs. When, however, God causes us to do things, He gives us strong reasons for which to do those things. Ultimately, the choice is still up to us to make. God says if you obey you get life, if you disobey you get destruction. The choice is still up to us whether to obey or not. So, He causes us to obey, we can, however, still disobey Him - if we don't like His offer.
