Why God implanted in our
souls the gift of “intellect” and
the gift of a “free will,”
 God wants us to use these gifts in his service.

 God desires that our intellects should be truly


enlightened and instructed so that it will have a
clear knowledge of who God is.
 God desires that we continually grow in the
knowledge of his love, power, goodness, justice,
and mercy.
 We demonstrate and prove that we believe by what
we choose to do.

 Our acts of love toward others imitate God in


certain ways because he not only told us that he
loved us, but his Son died on the cross to prove it.
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
 One’s intellect and free will can be used for
good.
 We are always accountable for our actions.

difficult choice has to be made between
two or more alternatives, especially
equally undesirable ones.

limited options at the moments.

capable to process problems and come
up with innovative solutions.

HUMAN INTELLECT AND FREE WILL.

whom you trust and believe to possess wisdom.

appropriate choices and right decisions.

outcome will be.
