Mankind having free will seems important to God, but what is free will according to God?

We are not human beings but spiritual beings in a human body for a brief journey in this dense vibration we call Earth. Freewill is in essence a responsibility, not a 'get out of jail free' card.We need to understand that every thought,word and deed has a consequence that will manifest in our present and future life.To a great extent we create our own suffering which can prove to be a good teacher.Be ured that while it may appear so, none can escape the karma they create as it is encomped by Spiritual Law which is Divine.
