He wins us always, but we need to accept Him as our saver.
Let's read Luke 23, 38-43. When Jesus was crucified with the criminals, He won a heart more.
"Above him there was an inscription:
'This is the King of the Jews'.
One of the criminals hanging there abused him:
'Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as well.'
But the other spoke up and rebuked him.
'Have you no fear of God at all?' he said.
'You got the same sentence as he did,
but in our case we deserved it:
we are paying for what we did.
But this man has done nothing wrong.'
Then he said,
'Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.'
He answered him, 'In truth I tell you,
today you will be with me in paradise.'"

Look, Jesus forgave the criminal, and the repentant sinner went to the paradise in the same day.
Come with Jesus, He wants to be with us, everyone.
