We love God because He first loved us.
We seek God because He first sought us.
No man initiates a search for God.
God initiates a search for us.
Christ came to SEEK and to CALL and to SAVE the lost.

Christ came to SEEK and to CALL and to SAVE the lost.
When He reveals Himself, His love, His salvation, His call to us, we are able to respond either positively or negatively. We seek God because we know He loves us and wants to save us from our sins.
When the Bible says that none sought or seeks God, it is in reference to man's initiative. It does not mean that men cannot seek God, since the Bible clearly and consistently commands us to seek God, and that He acknowledges men do seek Him. God condemns those who refuse to seek Him, and those who seek demonic wisdom, power, leading and deliverance. Condemnation comes because of willful disobedience.

I am presently working on a document that lists the scores of verses in the Bible, which make it totally clear that men have the opportunity and the obligation to seek God.
