During my four decades in broadcasting, I've often heard the statistic that at any given time, approximately one third of Christian radio listeners are not true believers in Jesus.  I don't think that statistic is exclusive to Christian radio.  I'm sure there are unbelievers who are regularly attending church, members of Sunday school classes, and part of small groups.  So, if they are not yet part of the body of Christ, why are they investing their time and attention in Christian activities?  I'm sure there are multiple reasons, but let me focus on one--the Lord is drawing that particular lost individual to Himself, and he or she is simply not YET a believer.  Eventually, that person WILL come into a saving relationship with Jesus, it just hasn't happened at this point.  That individual may be searching, and at the same time, the Lord is wooing him or her.  Think about what Jesus said in John 6:37 (NKJV):

"All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out."

This is great news!  Our salvation is not by happenstance.  Our Heavenly Father, through the work of the Holy Spirit, is actively at work drawing that woman who is listening to Christian radio or that man who has been sitting on the back pew at church to a saving faith in Christ.  That's why we must keep sharing the Gospel everywhere--even in places where we assume everyone already knows Jesus.

By the way, Every Man A Warrior's Carl Willis and I discuss this very topic on today's Footsteps.  And, in your case, if you aren't sure if you know Jesus as your Savior, I encourage you to click on the link below and watch a video about knowing God.
