Justice sends them to hell. I’m fine with that. However, there is a difference between a death penalty for someone you actually cared about and a death penalty for someone you designed never to have a chance.

For the first, you make an actual provision for them to turn.

For the second, you don’t.

However, there is a difference between a death penalty for someone you actually cared about and a death penalty for someone you designed never to have a chance.

Ah....here is the issue. God did not designed us "never to have a chance". God designed us to have fellowship with Him. However, we WILLFULLY do not want to have fellowship with God. Notice what it states in Romans:

Rom 1:21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him...

We know God. We make a choice. We do not want to honor Him or give thanks to Him. That is our choice. We have a chance; we just choose to reject that chance. Just like Adam in the garden.

But God wants to have fellowship with us despite our wickedness. He wants to make us holy. It is God who has to do something about our wickedness. Please note Ephesians 2:

Eph 2:1-5 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

We're no different than those fellows in Romans. But God, for some unknown reason, saved us from our willful and wicked behavior. This is what grace is all about.

The real question isn't why doesn't give everyone a "chance" to go to heaven. He does. But people, knowing God, reject wanting to go to heaven.

The real question that should be asked is why does God impose His grace to changes the hearts of some want to seek after Him? Why does God save a remnant? That is where the mystery lies.
