No, it cannot be found in all of us- we are sinful (and therfore totally corrupt) according to the Bible- the Hope and Truth is ONLY found in Jesus, and as Eph 2:8-9 says “you have been saved by Grace, through faith; it is a gift of God that no man may boast”.
It has to be given by God, or you are still lost. -JS. This is correct doctrine.

I understand that we are all sinful and imperfect and that there are truly wicked and evil individuals in this world but I also believe that the spark of life and the fingerprint of God's work and purpose was put in every human being who walks/lives in this world. The something which exists within all of us, no matter how deeply hidden, obscured, oppressed, or buried inside by ignorance, deeds, darkness, and evil. To reach this far takes a power beyond either yours or my own. It is a miracle we should encourage and pray for in all those who we encounter and live with. Yes, by God's Grace this spark of life can grow and develop into something much more than what is.
