There are many blessings that are given with no reference to or requirement for the cross, so the thread title is a baited question (as are most from this OP, sadly).
He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Matthew 5:45b)

It happens to the least likely. Unannounced, from out of the blue even to those who cannot find any desire for God. They awaken to a new life centered in the fruit of the Holy Spirit and a hunger for truth and righteousness.
“The wind blows where it wants to and you hear the sound of it, but you don’t know where the wind comes from or where it is going. It is the same with every person who is born from the Spirit.”” John 3:8 (NCV)
When you hear the gospel it hits home and you know its true. And you begin living according to it. Living Matthew 6:33 follows.
