Christian Johnson53 said:Given the scriptural teaching that no one comes to me (God) except through my son (Jesus Christ), I find myself wondering what becomes of the souls who never placed their faith in Christ? Furthermore, is it even possible for a spirit to reach God at all without that connection?
hi
Christ spoke in such a way that if you follow Him—meaning, if you act as He did—you will see God.
What is the most vital part of that?
Avoid being arrogant, and don't become a slave to the world, the masses, or your own vices and passions. If you do that, it's possible. But if you are enslaved to all those things, it creates so much mental noise that you won't hear God even if He were shouting in your ear.
In short: you have to decide whether you care about the world or God. Those people living reckless lives on the wrong paths... they simply don't see God.
If they finally do see Him, it means they have truly hit rock bottom and are completely lost. You see, God reveals Himself to people like that, but only when they reach their absolute lowest point. That's because, at that stage, worldly pleasure isn't a pleasure anymore; it's just suffering. That is when the Savior appears.
