I know, it doesn't make sense. The general gist is that humans stole something from God (his honor) and a penalty must be paid to restore that honor but instead of humans paying the penalty themselves, God supposedly has to pay his own penalty himself in terms of making his own sacrifice to himself in the form of a Son, who is also a God or from God depending on which Christian you ask to pay for the honor we stole from God. I know, sounds crazy and really diminishes God down to a bit of a crazy loon if it were true.

There were an unknown number of "souls" that Satan falsely imprisoned. The only way to get them out of hell was to prove Satan guilty of entrapment. This involved a great risk to God because it might have cost him Heaven.
But God prevailed and we all are being given a chance to show if we truly belonged in hell or not.
God did not have to attempt to rescue us, but he did.

God had no need to create anything or anyone, for the triune nature of the Godhead has always been such that there is completeness, fellowship, and love within the one Being of God. The eternal I AM has no need of anything. That He chose to create angels, this universe and do what He did on this planet, to then give to the humans He created in His image is staggering.
The only way to understand the purposes and plans of God is to go by His self-revelation. We can know nothing about God apart from what He reveals to us. We can observe His handiwork, yes, but that is a silent testimony to the power and wisdom of God. It raises questions in our minds, and God would have us in deep fellowship with Himself, so He has provided answers. But only for those who sincerely seek Him. For those who are so comfortable in their rebellion against Him that they scoff the very idea of God, He leaves them to it. And, eventually, there is reserved for unrepentant rebels "blackest darkness" - they are described as wandering stars (Jude vs 17).
Despite angelic and human rebellion against Him, God sent His uncreated Son to become a human - to so identify with fallen humanity that He became one of us! This was to rescue repentant sinners from their slavery to sin and death, and to eventually restore all creation to its pristine perfection (spoiled by sin - rebellion against God). The Bible explains all of this. God will not be thwarted. Nor will God force anyone to obey Him. He draws us with cords of love, yet those who hate Him will discover what an eternity without love and peace means.
But for those who know God as their heavenly Father, Jude concludes by saying God will help "keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy - to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore."

Why? Jesus explains it this way, "That everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.…"
