Jesus would not have to have come to teach us if everything was predestined
Even though God gave us free will, he gave us that to give us the chance to decide whether or not to seek for that relationship with him. The Bible says that the only way to enter into heaven is through the son. How can we enter in to heaven if we don't know him? The bible says to seek him in your closets or quiet places. Just like the first comment, if god decided why would he put us on this earth? The reason is because he wants someone to worship him. Matthew 22:1-3 talks about the wedding Jesus is coming back for. Before you get married you get to know some one. You learn about what they like and dislike and many other things. You don't go into a lifetime relationship and not know the other person. With this free will, God is giving us a chance to get closer to him, get to know him. He wants to answer our needs. God is love. He IS love.... all you need is faith and anything thing can happen. The bible also says that you cant enter into the kingdom except your born again with water and spirit. Acts 2:38 is the scripture many people use. But the bible has many different layers. Please don't read one scripture and believe that's everything. If you take your time and study it out you will find other scriptures that relate, others that may help explain and others that could save your soul. This isn't just a religion that you go to once a week or a few times a year. This isn't something that you just say yea i believe or no i don't. Either you believe everything the bible says or you don't believe any of it.
