Man’s Natural Tendency
The world’s false religions are fallen man’s attempts to escape the true God – not to seek Him. Man’s natural tendency is to seek his own interests (Philippians 2:21), but his only hope is for God to seek him (John 6:37,44). It is only as a result of God’s work in the heart that anyone seeks Him (Psalm 16:8; Matthew 6:33).
