Of course He could. But He practices restraint. Because lets face it, that wouldn't really be free will. It would be an illusion of free will, and God wants us to actually make the choice ourselves. There is no point in having Him choose our path for us.
Because eternity with someone you have chosen your whole life to ignore and not love would not be eternal bliss. It would be miserable for you and for Him.
You're kinda making God sound like he's a little paranoid about whether we love him or not? God shouldn't need proof for our love. Why couldn't he just have create us, skipped the whole life part and taken us straight to "heaven" or eternal bliss. Shouldn't our love for him upon creation be enough? More so, why even create us. he is eternal happiness, so why do we exist?
But based on this, and considering we do infact exist, I personally think that maybe an All Powerful God is beyond human emotions. With him, theres no love or malevolence or any emotion we've come to understand. He's beyond this love/evil stuff, and until we reach beyond that, we'll never understand why there is good and bad.
There is also the possibilty God doesn't exist. But realizing that our Universe exists, I personally believe there is an All powerful Creator.
