Among God's Creations on earths, it is man whom He endows with the faculty of reason and the ability to distinguish right from wrong. That is why it is oftentimes said that man is a rational being. This is what makes man unique and sets him apart from other created beings. And not only does God endow man capacity to reason or to think; God also gives him free will of his own. But this doesn't mean that man is free to do whatever he pleases without facing any consequence.

In our own ways, i believe that we are all held accountable. we have to answer for our deeds in life. it is only just and fair that we should be held accountable for ourselves and our behavior.

We must give an account to God for everything that we do. And it is not only his actions that we must account to God - even every word that we says: "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken"(Matt.12:36,NIV). We will give account on judgement Day for all our deeds and the worlds we have uttered. We will all stand before our Lord Jesus Christ to judged by Him - to receive what we deserve based on the good or evil we have done in our lifetime (II Cor.5:10,God's Word).

Because man has free will, he should be held accountable for his deeds. Based on Scriptural passage, God did not just give the first couple His command, but also the freedom to choose between right and wrong.
