I believe that every person born has a God only place within them. And is the reason for searching for a higher being. Someone to rule over them and bless and love them. Its something natural within us, to desire our creator. In my opinion its in our dna.
"In my flesh there is no good thing..."
We were like all men once "children of dosobedience"
They who are now children of God were no different from any other man born of Adam.
"Born in sin and shapen in iniquity"
It si as a lump of clay is no different from another lump of clay in a field of clay .
It is the potter who makes the difference.
ALL men by creation were created FOR the light .
For a mans eyes respond to light automatically and if a man is held in a place with no light he suffers phyisicaly .
But since the fall man is more a children of darkness that a child of light . For all he knows is darkness .
But what sayeth the scriptures?
"They that sat in darkness have seen a great light"
The condemnation then is not so much that men have sinned (for all have sinned) "but that men love darkness more than the light"
ALL men have faith . "For God has given to every man a measure of faith to profite with all "
It is just that men have put thier faith in what they can see and know by the natural man.
Accordign to what faith "IS" as dedfined in Hebrews All men have then faith.
But not all men have faith in God.
Faith in God comes when men not only hear the Word of God but also understand the Word of God.
Faith accordign to what faith "IS" in anything else works exactly in the same way. By a promise or word of another or thing that is 'heard and understood.
Eve believed the wrogn message .
So too the children of Israel on the borders of the promised land .
The 10 false spies saws the same things as the two faithful spies . But saw them in the light of thier own reasoning and perceptions (even as Eve)
The two faithful spies saw the same things in the true light of what God had already done who it was who was with them and what he had promnised for the future and in THAT light walked by faith and understood they could become more than conquerers.
The scripturss says "No one seeks after God.."
Which I used to find strange because I thought I used to before I was saved.
But I was as a man groping in the dark for I knew not what or who.
The 'god' I was apparently seeking was not GOD at all . But a 'god' of my own thinking and imagination .
It is that God had mercy on me that he opened the eyes of my understanding to see the truth not only of the truth about myself who I did know but also after about God who I did not know .
For unless a man comes to understand the truth about himself in some measure who he does know he cannot come to a knowledge of God who he does not know .
For "the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all else and who can know it"?
Man does not even know the condition of his own heart in ANY measure he is in so much darkness .
and it takes the Word of God and the Spirit of God (the water and the word) to enlighten him.
If theh he can recognise the truth about himself who he does know .He will then come to recognise the truth about himself who he does not.
If he cannot he will not.
If then he confesses the truth about himself who he does know he will then confess or speak the truth about God who he does not know .
If he does not he will not.
Man is bigger on the inside than he he is on the outside . For that is how God created him and then are all men.
But if men try to fill or satisfy himself with alcohol promisceous living or any other substitute they and it will destroy him.
"For man shall not live by bread alone (even legitimate needs) but by every Word that proceedeth from the mouth of God "
That great truth though first recorded in Exodus . is actually wrapped up and hidden in that other great truth "Let us make man in our own image"
For "man shall not live by every tree that was good to eat in the garden of Eden (which included the tree of life) But by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God as to what was good to eat and what was evil to eat .
Thus by the Word of God and the knowldge of God as to what was good and what was evil they lived.
It was the rejection of the Word of God that they died.
For they believed not the Word of God but believed the word of the serpent .
The consequences of doing so from then even till now and onwards we know .
We do not then by 'nature' desire God at all . For by our nature we are at "............emnity with God"
But we desire above all else to please ourselves.
It takes a great b work of God to change a leopords spots or make the crooked straight .
and to" translate us not only form the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of Gods dear Son"
But also to translate us from one predestination to another .
For without that great workign of God . We were as all men are ; predestined to corruption and death and hell.
For every seed is predestined to "brign forth fruit after its own kind"
Man was CREATED in the image of God . But we are BORN of the image of Adam.(shapen in iniquity)
and are therefore BORN of a corrupted or corruoptable seed .
If then we are born of a "corruptable seed" then as every seed brings forth fruit after its own kind. Then a corruptable or corrupted seed is predestined to bring forth fruit after its won kind. Corruption unto death.
But the same law that applies to a corruptable seed applies also to an "Incorruptable seed" which is the Word of God.
If then a corrupted seed is predestined to bring forth corrupotion unto death.
an incorruptable seed is predestined to brign forth righteosuness unto life.
Thus the imperative "ye MUST be BORN again"
It is not an option.
Nor a suggestion ,
Nor so much a freedom of choice.
For without the Gsopel of God there is no choice .
Jesus said "You did not choose me I chose you"
and God did not give Adam and Eve the choice or the liberty to do good or evil.
He DID give them the liberty to choose any good thing to eat they could find which included the tree of life.
"Of ALL the trees of the garden you may freely eat " That is freedom of choice to do good.
But he gave them no l.iberty to do evil.
"But of the tree of the knowldge of good and evil thou shalt not eat for in the day ye eat thereof ye shall surely die"
Some one says God gave them free will.?
In truth whos will did they do in the end?
Gods will was that they should NOT die and do good.
When a person is truly "BORNagain of that incorruptable seed which is the Word of God"
He does but enter that eternal will of God which was preordained from before the foundations of the Word and predetermined by God in Himself.
before anything was created .
and when a man is truly so born . He does "by practice learn good from evil"
For by the Spirit of truth that now dwells with in us (if we are His) "we do know the spirit of error"
In that case whos will do we do?
and who do we seek to and please?
in Christ

It is no longer a Holy upright in line with Gods every word ordeal.
