The gospel can be found if you look at road signs. We need to be saved because Hell has a No U-Turn sign on it. You are there forever. The lost man needs to STOP and see his sin. Jesus's sign is ONE WAY. The devil's sign is DEAD END. The way a Christian lives for God is to YIELD. God says He will lead so DO NOT PASS. The Christian life is one where God says in Philippians that God hath begun a good work in you. God will keep working on his children, conforming them to his image. That means there is CONSTRUCTION AHEAD.
Imagine if you had cancer but didn't know it. Imagine there is only one cure. Imagine if you neglect or reject the cure you will die at any moment.
You find out the cure is locked up where no one in the world can obtain it.
Imagine I had found a way to bring the cure to you.
Would you at the very least research this cure? Be grateful for the people who sacrificed to bring you the good news?
Jesus is the cure once you know you are sick. The law sheds light on your sin.
Get convinced of the disease. Then you will want the cure.
Jesus saves anyone who knows they are lost.
The catch is men don't want to admit they are lost. That means they might have to stop and ask for directions.
Even if it means their eternity.
That is sad and foolish.
How are you? Are you willing to make sure you have the real directions to heaven?
