"When God, in the beginning, created man, He made him subject to his own free choice. If you choose you can keep the commandments; it is loyalty to do His will. There are set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand. Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be given him.” –Sirach 15:14-17
It is your choice whether you drink of the waters of eternal life, or burn in the eternal fires of hell. God has created you because He desires for you to be caught up in His eternal exchange of love and to experience His Goodness and Joy, but love to be love is always freely given and received. You can choose not to.
