I mean, he knew that Satan (formerly Lucifer), would eventually rebel, and deceive mankind. And on top of all that, he would have send his son to die a slow and painful death on a cross to save us. And then to make things more difficult, mankind would have to accept Christ and follow in his footsteps (which is extremely difficult), in order to actually make it to Heaven. So basically one must surrender his life, and give up most of his free time in order to be saved, thus making him/her an irritable, lonely individual with no time for fun, and no way of knowing when he will be taken "home" to Heaven. And on top of that, he/she will have to spend time in Heaven battling the forces of darkness and evil, as Heaven is never described as a celestial retirement home.
