I often hear people say that evil is in the world because God had to allow free will. "Love must be free" is another way to state this, this is the "free will defense" to the problem of evil, yet love in heaven will be free, without the possibility of sinning. God's love is free, even though he cannot sin (see Heb. 6:18).
And "We love because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19). Not because we chose to!
I believe that only believers are free (John 8:34,36), free will thus does not explain the problem of evil.
