This also indicates that our relationship with God is expressed through active participation, self-employed use of the gifts entrusted to us, and free will directed towards seeking close communication with Him.In addition, another source emphasizes the importance of God taking into account the free will of the person: "He takes into account the free will of the person. And from the person’s side, if he is capable of the closest communication and union with God, it is by the strength of God's image within him..."
