each of our free choices gives rise to a possible world. for example, if i can choose between A and B and you can choose between A and B, then we have four possible worlds (i choose A, you choose A; i choose A, you choose B; i choose B, you choose A; i choose B, you choose B).
in theory, there are an infinite number of possible worlds.

God created the world to reflect His glory. more precisely, God chose to create this particular world - the world in which we are living in right now - out of the infinite number of possible worlds which He could have chosen to create, because this particular world reflects His glory more than any other possible world.
if any other possible world could reflect God's glory more than this particular world, then God would have chosen to create that other possible world instead. indeed, if not creating a world at all could reflect God's glory more than creating this particular world, then God would have chosen not to create a world at all instead.

therefore, we are chosen but free.
