It allows the wheat to separate itself from the chaff. Or to put it another way: suppose you see a beautiful woman (I'll assume you're a man). You think about her day and night. You develop a love for her. You dream up scenarios of a life together. You don't approach her and ask her out because you fear she'll reject you and all those fantasies crumble, the future you were wishing for lying at your feet. Instead, you wish you could just make her love you the way you've been loving her in secret. If you could, in this scenario, would you make her? Would you remove that pesky free will of hers just so you could have what you wanted? Her love, her loyalty, her devotion to you? Would that be love? True love? Would that elevate either of your states of grace, thereby taking you closer to God, and Him to you? God loves you too much not to respect your right to choose Him, a right to choose that He Himself gave you.

No that sounds horrible to remove someone's free will. Love that is conditional is not a relationship I would be interested in. But I get your point well said.
