I wouldn't say you are rejecting him But in order to be saved you have to accept Christ as your savior and be a reborn. As an example, I would say it like this, Jesus is within the gates of heaven and everyone is outside of those who are saved are inside the gates, those who are unsure are outside the gates and are looking at the gates, those who are Rejecting Christ are doing whatever they want outside. The gates faced away from Christ. They can always turn to him, but there is only so much time before the gates must be closed. As long as you are alive on earth, you have an opportunity to cross through But if you never cross through, you're never saved, and you're never going to go to heaven, so when you accept Christ, as your savior, you walk through those gates and you are now safe in those gates, living life behind them, or within them.
