Sooner or later God is going to save everyone from everything from which they need to be saved, including their stubborn will.

Reason: Personal
Yes, indeed. When God knocks on your door, He has given you the ability to open. You think He'd be knocking knowing you can't open? No, my friend, the invitations have been sent, and with it comes the ability to accept. Sadly so many still reject I heard the knocking for years, and I shut my ears so I would know hear, and I refused to open, but one day I humbeled myself and admitted that without Him I was lost and unable to help myself. It was then that I allowed Him to help me.
God does not merely give us the ability to open the door he literally causes us to desire to open and he causes us to do the work of opening the door as well, and that is all a part of his work in our lives which renews our hearts and conforms our minds to the image of Christ ...
The only reason why people reject christ is because god has not yet renewed their hearts and given them the desire and caused them to act on that desire ... but one day he will, and then every knee will bow and tongue openly and joyfully confess that christ is lord.
