The orthodox position of the Church is that, just as God does not predestine anyone to salvation, he does not predestine anyone to hell. The key to who goes where is the free will. Christ died for all men so that they may all be saved, for God desires that. Thus, God offers his grace to all. The reason some are not saved is that some refuse it freely; and some are saved because they accept it freely and follow God's lead. God does not force himself. Forced love is no love.

Good explanation.

From Blessed Saint John Chrysostom...

“it is neither the case that everything is due to help from on high (rather, we too must contribute something), nor on the other hand does He require everything of us, knowing as He does the extraordinary degree of our limitations; on the contrary, out of fidelity to His characteristic love and wishing to find some occasion for demonstrating His own generosity, He awaits the contribution of what we have to offer.”-Saint John Chrysostom-Ibid., 53.2 (PG 54 466; tr. Hill, vol. 3, 82-83).
