Why 'us' exist?

Why did God create the world, the people, the animals, plants and everything else, if He knew that there will be sin, pain, suffering, trouble and groaning? If He knew all these things will happen, why go through all the trouble creating the beginning of Earth and not just cut straight to the ending- His children in perfect condition, blameless, sinless, clothe in white robes, pure, holy, live eternally with Him in Heaven (aka, the condition of children of God after-we-depart-earth ?)

I thought about it a long time ago. What came in to my mind is that God is love and to express His love, He made things. I don't know why did the sin-came-in-and-Jesus-had-to-die-on-the-cross-in-order-that-we-can-be-connected-with-God concept exist, probably God wants His creation to love Him too, to know Him personally. Not because that He lacks love of what. He could have created/developed automatic creation that automatically loves Him kind of DNA. He is God, He can do what He wants. Maybe He just wants us to love Him at our own freedom/choice we make. It's more natural that way. And we who go thru life's challenge, know that God can help us, make us love God because He can do all things to help us overcome difficult times, witness a miracle and do supernatural things by His supernatural power in this natural world. Ultimately, victory is with us, victory is in His hand. And then we go like, "Woh, God is amazingg! I can't do that, only God can."

We know that at the end of a story, the good ones win. I like good ending stories.

The world, its sin, pain, suffering and groaning are temporary only. After that, we look forward to have life so beautiful without hurts and tears in Heaven with the Creator, like forever. That is the time where there's no more bad people, and our fight in keeping this faith and to stay pure and holy for God ends. Safe and sound in Heaven with God. No one can harm us anymore.

This i just a thought.

Romans 8:18-23

¹⁸ What we are suffering now is nothing compared with the glory that will be shown in us. ¹⁹ Everything God created looks forward to the time when his children will appear in their full and final glory. ²⁰ The created world was bound to fail. But that was not the result of its own choice. It was planned that way by the One who made it. God planned²¹ to set the created world free. He didn’t want it to rot away completely. Instead, he wanted it to have the same glorious freedom that his children have.

²² We know that all that God created has been groaning. It is in pain as if it were giving birth to a child. The created world continues to groan even now. ²³ And that’s not all. We have the Holy Spirit as the promise of future blessing. But we also groan inside ourselves as we look forward to the time when God will adopt us as full members of his family. Then he will give us everything he has for us. He will raise our bodies and give glory to them.

Hmm. When I actually get to meet Him face to face, I will ask Him like a whole lot of gazillion questions.
