How do we know that God's grace enables us to seek Him?

It is crucial to understand that the desire to seek God originates not from our own will but is a gift from His grace. Scripture acknowledges in Romans 3:10 that no one seeks God on their own, affirming that any inclination to turn toward Him arises from His initiative. Just as David’s desire to build a house for the Lord was prompted by God, so too is any spiritual longing or realization of sinfulness a result of God’s gracious working in the heart. The acknowledgment of this grace underscores our utter dependence on God for any seeking or understanding of spiritual matters, solidifying the Reformed tenet of total depravity and irresistible grace.
