Biblical Knowledge: If God knew that Adam will eat the fruit in the Garden of Eden. Why God didn't stop Adam?

If God knew that Adam will eat the fruit in the Garden of Eden. Why God didn't stop Adam?
I have been asked this question frequently. So I thought to write here in my blog for the readers like you.
This is the most common question of all. We know God created everything including human beings, the first man Adam. Scripture says human beings are the most beautiful and precious creation than any other creations because God created man in His own image (Genesis 1:26). God used His hands to create Adam "the Lord formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breathed of life, and the man became a living being" (Genesis 2:7). He gave life to Adam but the rest of the creation was created by His words. Even our creation is far better than Angels because they do not have their own free will (freedom). Only we human beings have the free will which means we can believe, praise, disobey, obey or dishonor, honor Him, it's our own will because God has given us that Free Will. Only for Human Beings but we can't escape from His judgment (Isaiah 28:14-16). We should understand this; by doing all these does not make God small or big, happy or unhappy. He is an almighty and sovereign God who knows everything from beginning to end (Revelation 21:6, Romans 11:33, Jeremiah 32:17). He does not want to control you and me because His love for us is unconditional (John 3:16). He doesn't want His beautiful creation should act like a puppet. If there was no free will then there would be no unconditional Love from God "God is Love" (1 John 4:8). I would like to give a small example: During examination time the invigilators are strictly not allowed to teach anything to the students. By chance, if the invigilators saw one of the students is writing the wrong answer meanwhile he can't stop him/her and correct his/her answer. It's ethically or morally wrong! The examination is the test for the students. In the same way, it was a test for Adam. God doesn't want to take freedom from human beings. So due to the free will given to Adam, God didn't stop him from eating fruit. I hope you are clear than before.
If you have any Biblical questions or comments please put it own the comment box. I will try my best to answer your questions.

Learn to Led

Scripture says, Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come." - 1 Timothy 4:8
The main purpose of creating this blog is to provide Biblical knowledge to all the ministers of God. AS we know, the Book of Hosea says, "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." keeping this in mind, I took initiative for the extension of God's kingdom through the enlightenment of His Word and also the readers can equip or defend themselves by reading such article. I believe these posts will help to increase your faith and teach the congregation for well understanding of the Bible.

Be Prepared for the End Times

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, ..........having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. - 2 Timothy 3:1-5 As you know all know the prophecies of the Bible for end days that are occurring around the world. Then, what is our responsibility? Our duty and burden; to teach and preach the right doctrine to the people of God so that they can be alert and pray continuously. He is the Alpha and Omega (Revelation 22:13). Having faith for a few years and decades does not give the guarantee for salvation. Scripture says, "...Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you a crown of life." So, I request you all to read and be a blessing for others. God Bless You!
