Even angels in Heaven have free will, otherwise some would not have fallen.
The adopted sons of God have free will...and express that free will in ways that serve God.
God gives us free will because He wants us to obey Him out of Love, not because He has demanded it. And He gives us creative minds because He wants to serve Him in ways that express our individuality.
That makes our gifts of Love all the more wonderful.
Do you believe God did not expect them to fall?
What I mean is ? How can they call those who be with out free will robots.
That’s to say God’s elect, his beloved created in his image and character as robots it’s a insult to his elect, his beloved, his adopted ones, and a insult to God himself.
For they can never be robots when God’s love is directed towards them and in them in Christ.
Electronic mechinacal robots as far as we know them have no living souls created by God nor can they experience the love OF God.
