Genesis 2:16—17,”And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” When our Creator gave these instructions to Adam, He was demonstrating that Adam had free will. Adam could choose to do what was right or he could suffer the consequences. Some may wonder why a loving God would allow bad things to happen to good people. Adam was made perfect but chose to disobey, some things that happen to us are beyond our control, however most of our suffering is due to our own bad choices.
