Yes. BEFORE we were saved, we were blind, and children of wrath, and slaves of sin.
A blind man can believe Jesus will heal him. A child of wrath can accept an offer of rescue, and a slave can accept the offer of freedom.
Nothing we do of ourselves will save us, but we can respond to the offer of salvation.
But not everyone will believe. And to those who reject God, God takes away whatever they had and casts them loose.
Not without an act of Gods grace they do not even know they are children of wrath, and slaves to sin ...that is why they are called blind and deaf..
Who is the natural man??
Romans 3: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness
: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
