Without free will/the ability to choose there is no love. (As Patriots, we value our freedom highly though not at the expense of all morality.) God is a just God, full of compassion, loving kindness. The cross is evidence of that. Both His justice and His mercy were satisfied. Though we may not always be personally aware of it. He surely gives ample opportunity to people to choose or to reject Him, His goodness, His wisdom as surely as He did in the Garden of Eden. He also provided a way of escape, doing for us what we could not do for ourselves and offering it to us. In this, He is also just and therefore loving. In human speak, what was unfair to Him is beyond fair to us. Is there any greater manifestation of love than this? If this makes sense to you, pray for your enemies. To borrow the expression, "but for the grace of God", you or I could be one of them. I could say more. I hope that this is helpful. I have pondered this a great deal myself. PS-Because it is His will not that NONE should perish, He is long-suffering/patient with us. We determine our final destiny. Where there is life, there is hope.
