description: Why does God let us choose? Why don't we always see the consequences of our actions? Why is God willing to allow our decisions, knowing we will make wrong choices? It's about agency. Elder Stephen D. Nadauld answers these-and other-questions about this most integral of God's Is agency really free? How can agency help me get the mout out of life? Can agency affect how well we learn? How does agency influence society as a whole? Does agency help me understand today's political issues-and can it help me see the consequences of my choice? What effect does agency have on the economy? Do my choices really affect my descendants? Can understanding agency help me understand the workings of the Spirit? Can agency draw me closer to God? Understanding the answers to these questions and exercising our agency wisely brings us closer to God. Ultimately, the choice placed before us is to choose Him.
