God gave us free will, and the ability to use it. Occasionally we may use it in the wrong way but in the end, God can't really impact our free will. He leaves us to make our own choices, but he makes sure that there *is* a good choice, that there is a chance for redemption. If they choose not to take it, he cannot force them to. He might be all-knowing and all-powerful, but that does not necessarily mean he would abuse his power to bring all of us to Him outside of our own free will.
