We are commanded to love God with all our mind and strength. If we love him we will demonstrate that love by obeying his commands.
We are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves. If we see our neighbor acting in a way that will harm him love requires that we warn him.
Biblical free will means that we have the power to choose whether or not to obey God. If we choose to disobey we must be prepared to suffer the consequences.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
