Bible was written in small words and short sentences. We like to make it more complicated than it is. The red letter stuff is lots of agricultural stories.
So you can take a knock on the door analogy and the choice of answering it and make it complicated? It does not say that Jesus and the Holy SWAT team no knocked with a warrant for arrest does it?

I don’t know what you mean. But this I will say, that you must stomp beneath your feet your human reasoning, and submit to the truth of the scripture. The reason of man is, by nature, offended and confounded by the Gospel. What good is the scripture if you believe it is “lots of agricultural stories,” and therefore you are not bound to believe it when Christ says, “you cannot come unto me, unless it is given to you by the Father?” So give up whatever it is you mean in these things and pray to God for the understanding and the heart to believe the scripture.
Do you consider yourself a good person?
