Chapter 4: Human Freedom and Need

After reading John chapter 4 and the the 4th chapter of The Jesus I Never Knew, share your thoughts on the needs of mankind and the interesting way God has addressed or not addressed those needs by allowing us so much freedom.

Why would God allow His creation so much freedom that we could choose to deny relationship with Him and even to deny the possibility of relationship with Him, or even His very existence.

What does it say about the character of a God who though omnipotent does not require or force worship and adoration?

Why does the Creator of the universe choose to communicate in such subtle ways? Why not impose His will as earthly leaders and governments seek to do?
