There is no one can understand fully and trully the word of God or His nature but by grace through faith is enough to believe in Him to be saved.

The key here is Romans 11:23. The reason why no one seeks God is because all of us are active in our unbelief. So what God requires from us is to discontinue our unbelief and yield to His grace that He’s actively offering us. God is the one who’s actively seeking us, not the other way around, we just merely give up in pursuing our unbelief

No man can seek after God without having first been quickened by Him.
The following verses are a clear depiction of one dead in their trespasses and sin.
If unregenerate men could seek God, then these scriptures would be false.
So in the flesh then… man would not have feet are swift to shed blood, not have a mouth full of cursing and bitterness, and so forth – but the Word states they do.
Unregenerate man’s will is not free; it is in bondage to sin.Romans 3:10-18
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
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. -
I am sorry but do not understand the question?
But will try.Is free will greater than God’s power?
Of course not. God is omnipotentIs the free will God gives to man powerful?
Yes, for good and evil but only so far. -
Our will is not more powerful than God, he allows us to use it.

Jerimah 29:13 you shall seek me and find ME when you search for Me with all of your heart
Yes we can’t find the Lord totally on our own but with the HOLY SPIRIT drawing us and our whole hearted response gives us free will to reject or accept His drawing! -
Drew Williamson Jeremiah 29..God is speaking to his chosen people who are in captivity. He’s not speaking to the lost world. A man, who is not redeemed of God, meaning drawn by the Father, given the gift of faith, and saved by the son has no ability to seek either. No man if us in free will is saved.

“Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar.”
Romans 3:4 NASB -
But James 5 says this: My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

John 1:12,13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the [e]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God

As free will gives us the ability to reject Him. God didn’t create a bunch of bio-robots. He gave us a b mind to think and to reason.

Why are you bothering with this kind of post if those that are going to be saved will be?
-
So true it is the Holy Spirit that draws man.So all heaven is engage in man’s salvation God’s grace is marvelous.

We don’t have a free will. But from the freedom not to choose God, the sinner continues to seek everything that is essentially dishonoring of God. Even though they see his eternal attributes in what is made, and of that which is also evidenced within, they continue to reject God.
No one is a robot, of course not, what stupid argument! But very one rejects God willingly, as they live according to their greatest desire, it is their deepest desires which they are enslaved to – hence, we don’t have a free will. The enslavement to sin the deepest desire, their love for their sin and pleasures of this world.
We need God to do a work in our hearts to change us, to grant us faith and repentance. We need to be born again. Then we will be truly free.

We Have Free Will?
-
You’re either a slave of Christ or a slave of sin. So much for free will….
-
With our free will, we can either accept God’s grace in our lives or reject it and keep it out of our lives. That’s what the unsaved have done (except for the ones that haven’t heard the Gospel yet, of course)
