The concern behind Hopko’s argument is perhaps eschatological. There is a widespread conviction, which he possibly shares, that a God who does not already know how the world will ultimately turn out cannot be trusted to bring it to a satisfactory end. But that is not necessarily true. My own statement of the “heart of the Christian message” would involve the conviction that perfect loving wisdom is the ultimate power of the universe, and that we can safely entrust our everlasting security to it. To believe that God is love is to believe that love is ultimately more powerful than anything else and that it will ultimately be victorious. Perfect love exercised with perfect wisdom can ultimately be victorious without knowing in advance the exact details of how the victory will be won.
