God is either in control or God is not. Which is it?

So, God won't come in unless God is invited, correct?

If so, how many of us have to invite God in? 10%? 25%? 50%? 75 or 80%? 100%?

If God can just do what God wants then why doesn't God change reality?

Because love requires free will.

God is the Creator, but in giving us free will, he has made us co-creators of the continuing human reality on earth.

God isn’t going to force himself on anyone, nor does he need followers to stroke his ego.
People need the salvation of God more than he needs our fellowship.

Think of it like God putting together an all star baseball or football team. He is not looking to grab just anybody off the streets. He is looking for those that have worked and proved themselves. He is looking for the best.
