TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH, upon every soul of man THAT DOETH EVIL, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But GLORY, HONOUR, AND PEACE, to every man that WORKETH GOOD, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. Romans 2:9-11. We'll use the Lord's definition of "doeth evil" and "worketh good" as to exactly how and under what terms this is done. This generally divides straight down the middle of people doing evil or working good. The "tribulation and anguish" people here have no hope. Life is tough and they have no idea AND NO INTEREST in seeking the Lord for answers. They have become hardened to Christ and will do anything to try to work out their own problems in life, and will die in their sins trying to do so. The "worketh good" people are the Believers, the Followers of Christ. Keep in mind, the Christians also go through tribulations WITH HOPE AND JOY because they know the Lord is allowing tribulation in to build the Christ-like Character as they Grow in Christ. The people doing evil are also the goats in the church, they never will come to Christ. For the "lost sheep" who are not yet saved but soon will be, the Lord will use anything necessary to draw them in to Salvation. Yes, Christ WILL find all the lost sheep because He said He would. They are only lost, but they still are sheep. Some people quickly come to Christ and some look like a hard nut to crack. Either way, they come to Christ. But the goats, the Lost, the haters of Christ spend their whole life fighting everything the Lord tries to do to save them. HE knows they'll never come to Him, but we don't and Christ admonishes us to go Preach to the whole world anyway. When one dies in his sins, the Word you preached to him WILL stand next to him on Judgment Day and Testify to your Words to him. He will be condemned and cast into the Lake of Fire. Why not just give in to the Lord, follow Christ, and, Be Blessed?
