Exodus 33:17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. John 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. So here we find that God knows the name of those to whom he gives grace, his followers. It would seem that men who don’t follow him aren’t known to God personally. He doesn’t know the unsaved person. He doesn’t know their name. We pray for someone and in doing so we’re “introducing” God to that person. We ask God to consider people just like Moses did. People are stiff necked. They need someone to intercede for them. That someone is us. If we intervene, God may call them and if they respond to his grace they may get chosen. Mathew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. If he’ll do it for Moses I’m sure he’ll do it for the brothers and sisters of Jesus because Jesus is greater than Moses. Jesus pleads our cause with God. We receive not because we ask not. This is the lack of knowledge people have; the souls of men is the treasure we will have in heaven. Seeking to save souls is the wisdom of God. God invested everything in redemption. He’s hired us, some early, some in the middle of the day, and even some of us late in our lives. But the reward is the same for all of us, eternity with Him.
