Thank you Pilgrim for your insight.
Now there are two ways in which man views good and bad. A man with the love of GOD views it different from that of an unbeliever. So those who are saved, feel concerned for everybody's salvation. This is the true nature of GOD. Because HE is love, he wants all men to be saved.
(For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4)
So we cannot deny HIS sovereignty in salvation and also HE desires all men to be saved. This is true love of GOD. So one thing is sure that HE doesn't prompt us to do evil.
If both are true, then we are in a situation where we cannot for sure explain how election and GOD'S desire to save all mankind go together.
Also remember that one thing that remains forever is the perfect love of GOD.
(And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13).
So,because GOD loves his creation, there should be freedom in our thoughts and actions.
Now the ultimate question is how free will exists? Remember that we may not know how GOD accomplishes these things. Such knowledge is a mystery and probably out of our understanding. Our conception of time and space is different from that of GOD. So I think that all mankind is given a fair chance of salvation. According to the scripture this is true. It is also true that only some will be saved in the end. But how these events go together is a mystery which we cannot know. It is better left to GOD himself. That is the reason I think, GOD did not reveal these things to us.
