A @Christadelphians Video: Description: GOD created to earth very good, and as a desire for man to enjoy HIS creation, HE also gave man a free will. Sadly men often made bad choices, choosing rather to seek their own pleasure than the ways of GOD, the result is sadness and often wickedness. It is often in times of despair that men seek as better way and turn to GOD, and it is with that change of heart that GOD can work in a person’s life.
