Let's consider this matter, as men, and let's consider what God could have done, and what God did.
God could have created nothing. No universe, no earth, no people. God could have created an automaton universe, with no evil, only automatons carrying out their programming. God could have created a Pollyanna universe where everyone was hard wired to always do the right thing, all the time.
None of those would have satisfied the reason God created anything in the first place, and that is to make Love the highest ideal.
If there is no universe, no people, there is no love but for God, and nobody to love back. If there are only automatons, their love is false, robotic, meaningless. If the Pollyannas have no choice but to love you, their love is hollow, weak, automatic and meaningless.
In none of those creations is Love the highest ideal.
But what is Love, really, and what is the greatest act of Love? The greatest act of love one can do for another is to lay down one's life for another. And who would do such a thing? Maybe for a small number of people, they could find someone willing to die for them. But in this Christ proved his love for us, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The greatest act of Love ever made, in a universe where Love is the highest ideal.
Love freely offered, and love freely given. Love from free will moral agents with the power to withhold that love, with the power to rebel against Love, with the sovereignty to choose Love, or to choose not to love.
In creating this universe, with free will moral agents, God has finely balanced all of the evidence with your power to take in or reject evidence, and to choose, of your own volition, whether to love him back or not.
He has already proven he loves you; he died in your place. He paid a debt he did not owe, with his blood, because you owed a debt you could not pay.
God loves you, and wants you to freely choose to genuinely love him back.
