Yes, but free choice is given soley so that they may indeed accept Jesus for who He is: the I am, the Alpha and the Omega, and so that they may truly partake in this joy, as 1 Peter 1:7 says, "Though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, you beleive in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorius joy."
It is only because God loves man enough to let him reject this joy that He gave man freedom-- not to abuse freedom. Jesus said, The Truth will set you free. Only those who freely bond themselves to Christ, are truly free-- free from sin, agony and even death. They experience the true joy of Christ.
Those who in the name of freedom swear, blaspheme, fornicate, and sin are not free-- but bound to the very sins they commit-- who do you know that drinks alchohol over an appropriate ammount the is not bound to his drink? Just the same is he who commits sin in the name of freedom.
Be free-- draw near to Jesus!
