What is it about God and choice? God knows who are the called, His called, and He has seen the consequences of all choice made by such and not such. It is against His perfection to control the man who makes the choice or else there would be no free will. Are we guilty of asking (so often), "Why doesn't He do anything?" during our trials and suffering without acknowledging we have made the choices that have placed us here? He sees the choices of the uncalled and works them together for the good of those who love God and are the called. In His omnipresence He has seen past, present and future, all at once, and in His omnipotence has held complete control, knowing in His omniscience the entirety of them all.
The uncalled will continue to act out their free will without accountability, because they do not acknowledge God. He is not a reality and hell will be no surprise. Such would be the contents of a particular package, inside the box is the same which is printed on the outside.
However, the called will be shepherded through the valley of their own creation (because of free will) according to His plan and purpose. They do acknowledge Him, and they give Him complete ownership of their lives, over both their obedience and their rebellion.
To be one of the called is a choice, one that is already known by the Creator. For God knows who are His even before they are created. The moment one makes such a choice has no bearing on their life, for God already knew the choice would be made, down to the second. Just as God knows in the free will of the uncalled no such choice would ever be made. Those who commit this unpardonable sin are oblivious to sin itself. It is when sin is acknowledged, and repentance begins to emerge, that the knock comes at the door. He does not force love on us; is there anyone comfortable knowing their admirers are there by favor of request? No, He offers His inexorable love to us with the hope we will accept it deeply and desirously, not out of obligation. He is a jealous God, and oh what a heart-wrenching feeling it is to know that God Almighty wants me for Himself.
