This question sits at the edge of mystery, pain, and theology.
“If God is all-knowing, why create people who will curse Him?”
“Why give life to those who will reject Him, harm others, and even end up in hell?”
It’s a fair, honest question. And while we may not have a full answer this side of eternity, we can find clues in Scripture, stories, and truth that point us toward a deeper understanding of God’s purpose and character.
🔍 1. Knowing the Outcome Doesn’t Remove the Purpose
Just because God knows a choice doesn’t mean He caused it.
God created humans with free will—the ability to choose love or reject it. Love that is forced is not love at all. A world without choice would be full of programmed robots—not sons and daughters.
Deuteronomy 30:19 – “I have set before you life and death… now choose life.”
God knowing a person will reject Him doesn’t mean He made them for rejection. He still gives them life, opportunity, and grace.
🌱 2. Even Those Who Reject Him Serve a Greater Story
Think about Pharaoh in Exodus. He hardened his heart—but God still used him to display His power and deliver His people.
Or Judas—the one who betrayed Jesus. Though Jesus knew from the beginning, Judas still walked with Him, ate with Him, and saw miracles. His betrayal became part of the redemption story.
God, in His wisdom, can even use those who turn away to fulfill a greater plan.
Romans 9:22-23 – “What if God… bore with great patience the objects of His wrath… to make the riches of His glory known to the objects of His mercy?”
🧊 STORY 1: The Block of Ice That Carved a Canyon
A river once flowed freely until a massive block of ice dammed its path. The people feared disaster. But over time, the ice redirected the water—cutting a new channel and forming a beautiful canyon that later became a source of life and tourism.
Lesson: What first looked like a useless obstacle became a tool of transformation.
Likewise, even those who resist God can be part of shaping others, teaching patience, or pointing others to truth.
🌄 3. Creation Was Always a Risk—Because Love Is a Risk
God didn’t create to show off power. He created to love.
Love takes risk. Parents know this well. They bring children into the world knowing:
The child might disobey.
The child might walk away.
The child might break their heart.
But they still choose life—because love is worth it.
God loves us enough to risk rejection.
🔥 STORY 2: The Artist and the Shattered Sculpture
An artist once sculpted a beautiful piece, only for it to fall and break. Friends told him, “Why waste time making fragile things?”
He replied, “Even if it broke, the act of creating it was love. And from the broken pieces, I can still create beauty.”
Lesson: God doesn’t discard the broken. He redeems them—or even uses their fall for something greater.
🕊️ 4. God Gives Everyone a Chance—Even If He Knows the End
God is not unfair. He gives every soul a real opportunity to seek, find, and choose Him.
2 Peter 3:9 – “He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
His foreknowledge doesn’t cancel our responsibility. He lets people live, love, fail, and even rebel—because in that freedom lies the possibility of redemption.
💔 STORY 3: The Son Who Came Back Too Late
A wealthy father knew his son was reckless. The son demanded his inheritance and left. For years, the father waited at the gate.
One day, a letter came: the son had died in a far land. The father wept. He had known the son might never return—but he still waited, hoping love would draw him home.
Lesson: God knows who may never return—but He still waits, still loves, still gives life.
🌈 Final Thought
Yes, God knows.
Yes, some will reject Him.
But He is love, and love takes the risk.
He gives life not to fill hell—but to offer heaven. He allows freedom because without it, there can be no real relationship.
“God did not create us to be puppets. He created us to be people—free to choose, free to love, and yes, free to walk away.”
And yet… He still offers Himself.
That’s not weakness. That’s holy love.
