1And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
2in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
4But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
Eph 2:1-6 NASB
It is God Who acts to redeem the individual.
On his own an individual does not seek God....yet it is God Who seeks the individual.
Your own personal interpretation of the scriptures.
“Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.”
Romans 2:14-15
