This was the way i was taught long ago by Godly pastors- Since looking into the issue, i believe that anyone who honestly seeks to fill the hole they have inside without the savior will find Christ if they don’t harden their heart against the Holy spirit. Christ promises that anyone who Seeks Him will find Him- Even if they don’t know his ‘proper name’ or anything about Him. Christ will not lead the honest seeker astray.Man knows in their heart that they are on the ‘wrong side’ and need help making their fallen condition right. This is the work of the Holy Spirit- convincing hte people of their fallen state. Those that honestly look to correct that, and don’t look to take credit for their ‘own salvation’ via works’, will find it- will Find Christ. Those that know they are helpless to correct their own condition, and are willing to throw themselves on a Redeemer for mercy, will find Christ full of mercy

Yes, I believe when HE says I stand at the door and knock, it is the door of yours/theirs and mine heart.

Most times when I pray, I start with LORD take from me this heart of stone and watch over my tongue.

If God wants to save people, then in my view, he will give everyone an opportunity to join him after death.

Those who like to seek power and riches through lies and treachery will reject God because they will refuse to live under his rules. The will be sent to hell, separation from God, which could be very similar to this earth. There, they will continue to scheme and plot for power over everyone else. Nancy Pelosi and her ilk will reject God in death as they have in life in the belief that they can rise to power in the afterlife.

Those who hate scheming and plotting and lies will accept God and his ordered life and will be finally free of people like those we see on earth, at the cost of God’s light yoke. Love your neighbor and your God.
