Those who do not put their trust in God are encouraged to seek Him, as seen in Jude's exhortation to show mercy to those who doubt. Jesus teaches in John that believing in Him is essential for eternal life, emphasizing the importance of faith. The apostle Paul warns against being yoked with unbelievers in 2 Corinthians, while Ezekiel emphasizes the responsibility to warn the wicked to turn from their ways. Through prayer and repentance, as highlighted in James, non-believers can find forgiveness and redemption, illustrating God's desire for all to come to know Him.

Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
But if you warn the wicked man to turn from his way, and he does not turn from it, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
