God is good to us. In the end, God will allow us to live as we choose. Revelation 22:11 states, "Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy."
We are God's sheep; God knows those who are His, and He looks after us. He knows the conflict of our hearts and how our every inclination is toward evil. So God works with us and He molds us. They Holy Spirit convicts us in our sin, and He speaks to us in our temptation. Sin is always our choice. Satan cannot force us to sin; God will not make us. It is always our decision.
As Thomas Watson writes, "God shows mercy in restraining us from sin. Lust within- are worse than lions without! The greatest sign of God's anger, is to give men up to their sins ... While the ungodly sin themselves to hell, God has laid the bridle of restraining grace upon us!"
