1 | How do we receive Him? As Guest/Owner? | John 1:12 | jlhetrick | 164051 | ||
Hello brother Kalos, Glad you joined. I hope your not using this passage to support the notion that no one seeks God as that is the context of the last post. You are a good bible student and teacher so I'm sure you have researched the quote from Paul referring to several passages of the OT including Psalms and Isaiah. Question, what was Paul's intent when quoting the OT there in Romans 3? What was the context of the statements when they were made in the OT? Do the statements intend to imply and or do they teach that no one seeks God? If your answer to the last question is yes, what do you do with the verses I quoted in my last post and the many similar ones in the bible (keeping in mind to keep those in context as well). Look forward to your answers if you have time. with love, Jeff |

There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. Romans 3:11 (NKJV) "none...seeks." 'See Ps. 14:2. This verse clearly implies that the world's false religions are fallen man's attempts to escape the true God -- not to seek Him. Man's natural tendency is to seek his own interests (compare Phil. 2:21), but his only hope is for God to seek him (John 6:37, 44). It is only as a result of God's work in the heart that anyone seeks Him (Ps. 16:8; Matt. 6:33).' (MacArthur Study Bible, John MacArthur, Word Publishing, 1997) Grace and peace, Kalos |
