A great analogy is that God's grace is like an extremely wealthy man sharing his riches with others. How thankful one would be because the rich man most certainly does not have to be that generous.

Well, God does know exactly what is going to happen, something we have no way of knowing unless God shares it with us. This can get complicated, especially with the variations of perspectives in different people. I am not very experienced, so you are more than welcome to consult other sources if I do not satisfy you. Oh, just in case you did not know, I am only a kid- I have been alive for less than 2 decades. By human perspective, free will does indeed exist. We are responsible for sin. Although Satan is the one responsible for implanting sinful temptations within us, it is our fault when we sin. This is due to the fact that it is possible to resist all temptation. However, this is not always easy. As a matter of fact, it is usually very difficult- next to impossible in many cases.

That is one of the many phenomena that is beyond human comprehension; we just have to trust God will take care of everything. God knew the humans He created would sin, bringing death and destruction into their lives. That is why He planned to come down to Earth in human form. He was crucified in order to pay the penalty for our sins, so that we may have the glorious opportunity to join Him in His Eternal Kingdom. God can do anything He pleases, but many things He will not do. Life has been set into a realistic order that God will rarely intervene. So what makes sense is usually what happens.
