"He even gives us the faith to believe. Since our sin natures naturally resist anything from Him, He has to do even this for us, give us the ability to believe."

Yeah, it's pretty amazing, isn't it. But, I wonder why some of us are more blessed than others, in that regard.

Well, those that want to find God, sincerely, WILL find Him. He also says that. Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord, will be saved. God desires all men to be saved. Not all men want God. It is a consequence of free will. And God respects a person’s right to say yes or no to Him, that He will not force Himself onto them and make them believe or love Him. Those that He gives the faith to believe are those genuinely seeking God, not necessarily those that merely want an intellectual or philosophical answer to another question, or who don’t expect an answer because they don’t believe in God, or are hoping they don’t get an answer because that would mean there IS a God.
