First you say that we can either choose Jesus or Death...regardless, all of us will die...so are you saying that if you beleive in Jesus, you won't die ? 🙄
Secondly, you never answered the actual question: How does an Omnipotent God co exist with Free Will ?
Omnipotence is the all power...power to do all, power to know all, consisting of and being beyond all.....If God knows all, and if he can do all, then Free Will cannot exist. If God already knew the outcome out our lives and deaths, then it is already done, and there is no choice...because no matter what we do, the same result will spawn.
Secondly, if God is all powerful, then Free Will cannot exist, because Free Will limits God....God cannot interfere with the totality of our lives, because that would violate free will...rendering him limitted, and NOT omnipotent...Can you sincerely argue otherwise ?
Jim Carry: "Can I ask why [You gave us free will]?"
Morgan Freeman: "Yes, you can! That's the beauty of it."

That is because we are "time-conscious." We are bombarded by time from sun up to sun down. Our frame of refernce is based on time in everything that we do. We say that we have to do thus and so at such and such time. We have appointments to make, a job to be at (perhaps), or class at a certain time, so on and so forth. But God does not; He is eternal, so everything is now with God all the time.
