I am a Catholic. I think that God knows what we will do, but never causes us to sin. He also wills all to come to repentance. Cf. 2 Pt 3:9. I think He also teaches us that we can have all confidence in our salvation, and even have confidence for others. "Love hopes all things" Cf. 1 Cor 13:7. We can also sacrifice for others' salvation. Cf. Col 1:24. The Diary of Faustina Kowalska, a private revelation, emphasizes the extreme horror of man's sin, together with the unimaginable love of God's mercy. I think we're all looking for that kind of dependency.
