It's About God's Glory, Not Our Salvation

God's goal is not to save every person but it is His glory. He is powerful enough to save everyone and powerful enough to not have anyone ever be fallen in the first place. He is powerful enough to eradicate all suffering and evil, and He is powerful enough to not have let suffering and evil exist in the first place. He is powerful enough to be glorious without wrath, and to have good without evil. But for some reason, His sovereign will made things this way for His own purposes and His own glory. For some reason He made us and His will made things transpire the way it did, for His glory. The fact that not everyone is saved does not somehow compromise God's power, sovereignty, and perfection. This begs the question... is God lacking in glory then such that He has to add to it? The answer is no God is not lacking...
