I've put the bible verses in that I got inspiration from, please look them up and read them if you get the chance!
I think philosophically and theologically God has every person He chooses.(Revelation 13:8) Luck has nothing to do with it. Proverbs (16:33)
He sacrifices His desires (that all men be saved) in favour of our choice that makes love valuable. (Deuteronomy 30:19)
God did not spend several thousand years developing a plan. It was His plan from the foundation of the world.(Revelation 13:8) (mindboggling) and He has patiently established His sovereignty throughout the span of its execution in History, geography, scientific discovery, etc. (2 Letter of Peter 3:15)
Jesus death was humanly speaking horrific, but the impact of six hours one Friday in light of the God of eternity past and present, is probably less than the pain of a jab to inoculate a whole body for a lifetime.
You wouldn’t enjoy being a love-puppet with God's hand inside you making you do everything right, from inside you.
Satan is a deceiver who still takes prisoners from among the ignorant and the obstinate with the same line: "Did God actually say..." and "You won't surely die" and "God is keeping something good from you" (Genesis 3:1-5)
But when Jesus hung upon that cross, demons fled, and the Son of God defeated sin to create an alternative life for us to choose. Where Satan can’t destroy us. (Romans 8:3-5)
