Absolutely. God created man with the ability to choose between right and wrong, good and evil, etc., and with that free will to choose came with it a great responsibility to always be in subjection to the one who created man/woman. Adam chose to rebel, and we as his offspring are paying the consequences of that terrible decision made of his own free will for the scripture says he was not deceived as his wife was:
1 Timothy 2:14: And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
If God did not create man with free will then He would not be able to require obedience or penalize us for disobedience. All men/women have the ability to choose to obey the Creator God or not to do so. Their decision will determine what their eventual and long-term future or end will be!
Choose life, live by faith obedience to God and by the message He gave His son to give to us. If we keep the words of the Lord Jesus making a free will choice to do so we will have an amazing end result and if we do not freely choose to follow and abide by the words of the Lord Jesus we will build our house on sand instead of on a rock - God's anointed one. That choice leads to destruction in the lake of fire which is the second death.
Freedom of will is a wonderful opportunity to choose to be a part of the New Humanity that we become a member of at our baptism when we become new creations in the lord Messiah Jesus. At that moment in time, our names are written in the Book of Life! Our names in the book of life will be our passport to enter into the coming New Age that will come after the White Throne Judgement when all who enter will be glorified men and women. Choose life! Choose to love Yehovah will all your heart, mind, being, and strength, and love your neighbors as yourself! If we keep this creed of the lord Jesus we will co-rule and co-inherit with him all that was promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and all those who are in the Messiah Jesus.
