Summary

This quote suggests that the ability to sin, whether for humans or angels, exists due to the gift of free will bestowed upon us by God. With free will, individuals possess the freedom to make choices, including acting in ways that are considered sinful. By granting this freedom, God also allows the possibility of wrongdoing. The quote highlights the responsibility that comes along with free will and explores the idea that the capacity for sin arises from the exercise of this fundamental attribute of human nature.
