Do you think that maybe it isn't that people turn away from Jesus but maybe they never really went to him in the first place?

Someone recently asked me how I know that I am saved. My answer:
Well, I heard the Gospel for the first time in 1981. Was surprised that according to John 3:16, that it was so easy to get saved. Per Rev 3:20, I believe that at the time God was knocking on the door of my heart, and I believed and responded to His grace by faith per Ephesians 2:8-9 and confessed my sins per 1 John 4:15 and thanked Jesus for dying for my sins. I believed that I was forgiven and trusted Jesus as my Lord and Savior per Romans 10:9. I know that I cannot loose my salvation because Jesus promised us in John 10:28-29 that no one can snatch them out of His hand. I believe this with my whole heart and soul and endeaver to tell as many people who will listen to do the same per Mark 16:15. I endeaver to live my life in a way that pleases Him. I stumble from time to time, but I confess my sins per 1 John 1:9 and He is faithful and just to forgive my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. PTL!!!!

even more so, 1st John 5:10 & 13 gets to the core of how WE KNOW WE ARE SAVED. add to that, Romans 8:16 & John 3:33

Precious friend, Great question, because, Scripturally, the following would
make no sense at all:

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,​
and of love, and of a sound mind. " (2 Timothy 1:7 AV)​
​
How is that one that God Eternally Saved, And "Gave a sound mind":

"turn away from Him" [ unsound mind? ]?​
Amen.
