Those who are not part of God's remnant have hearts that don't want to be saved. God's holy remnant are His holy Elect. In the final analysis, the ungodly will be saved when they admit their ungodliness and come to Jesus Christ to be made new creatures in Him. They trust, believe, adhere to Jesus Christ taking His yoke upon them, and follow Him on the narrow path by His grace, and the supply of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
There are many who say, I am saved, but they walk the wide path to destruction. These are harder to reach and are like the Pharisees who thought they were saved too. You have to get them unsaved in order to get them truly saved. Only the gentle Spirit of the Lord can do this, but the sinner must be willing to humble himself before the Lord.
Niceness is of the world and of the flesh, and is superficial, even if it is made apparently habitual. It will fade in trial and tribulation that is coming to the world. You must be born again to have a heart changed. Nice people who rebel against God in their hearts will lose their niceness when tribulation comes.
WE NEED TO BE VERY SURE WE ARE TRULY IN THE FAITH BEFORE WE DIE.
The most dreadful thing to hear Jesus say is DEPART FROM ME; I NEVER KNEW YOU.
At that point it is too late.
He died for all that those who live should not live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
