Everyone is on their way to hell because of Adam plunging the world into sin.
God has predestined some to heaven. Even those he has predestined have the continual choice to keep turning to Him or leave.
He offers sufficient grace to encounter (the burning bush of God) at every moment to all men. (In nature, in history, in other Christians, etc)
It is our responsibility to respond by inquiring what this is about (the burning bush) when we are in His presence we have a choice to believe and take our sandals off to be on holy ground [obedience] or turn away and move on)
Salvation is non parallel tracks. One is going one way, the other going opposite direction.
Grace is built upon grace and it is offered every moment.
We must not put obstacles in front of it.
(raincoat in the rain, umbrella to keep out the ray of sun)
God is not obligated to save anyone but he does want all to come to him.
God loves everyone and takes care of everyone. But he loves everyone differently. He gives different graces to different people based on His will.
You cannot compare yourself to another, you will only be as holy as he wants you to be. You are given the graces he chooses to give. You can accept or reject not dictate, you can request but not demand.
