Whatever you deliberately set out to do implies free will. One can always choose not to act/react in a certain way.
Wether or not God has given it to us is not an adequate question; it implies God's existence which isn't established or even logically consistent. But given that he exists as an omnipotent deity, there's no reason why he couldn't give us free will, just as I can set my Sims to 'autonomy 100' (or whatever it was) and leave them for themselves.
