Yes, God knew each and every one of us and He chose to create us for His glory. He made a way of salvation for each and every one of us. He did not exclude Jimmy in order to save Bobby. He did not place more value on one's soul than the other. Do you not think that it grieves God that His beloved creation turns away from Him? God did not handpick a few out of the many that He created. Over and over He has shown mercy to His creation even though He was grieved that He ever created us. Hell was not created for man but rather for the devil and his angels. Because many have chosen to neglect and reject Jesus hell will be their eternal place also. Jesus died for each and every one of us. The Holy Spirit draws each of us. What we choose to do with Him is the key.
So you do not think that God knew we would not be obedient?
