In the climactic scene, Dickens wrote:
"The Spirit stood among the graves, and pointed down to one ... 'Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point,' said Scrooge, 'answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be' ... Still the Ghost pointed downward to the grave ...
'Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead,' said Scrooge. 'But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me' ...
'Spirit.' he cried, tight clutching at its robe, 'hear me, I am not the man I was.
The hand appeared to shake. 'Good Spirit,' he pursued, as down upon the ground he fell ... 'Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me, by an altered life.'
God not only knows the future, He knows all possible futures and tells you what they are, and lets you choose. He even tells you how you should choose: “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life” - Deuteronomy 30:19. And in His infinite wisdom, God knows how you will choose.
