On the Destiny of the Soul
By F. S. Darrow, PH.D.

The last end of every creature is to attain to a likeness to God: therefore it would be contrary to providence to withdraw from a creature that whereby it attains the divine likeness. But a voluntary agent attains the divine likeness by acting freely, as it has been shown that there is free will in God (Aquinas)
