I don't understand God's love.

I am a Christian struggling for answers, I know this isn't exactly the right place but please give me your opinion.

It starts with a simple question: Why did God create us? Well, there is pretty much only one answer. Because he wanted to right? However think about this, VERY few people compared to everyone actually get into heaven. As the bible says in Matthew 7:13 "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way." It definitely wouldn't be a stretch to say most people go to hell. However God is ALL KNOWING, he KNEW that if he created us most of us would suffer unimaginable torture FOREVER! Knowing this he created humanity, he created us knowing that even if we are Christians we endure a tough road following our religion, and that the world tends to mock us. That even if we make it past all that and got into heaven, we would still have to watch everyone else be tortured forever. Those who aren't Christians simply get tortured forever in hell. Either way WE suffer on the whims of a God who created us for HIS sake.
