How does sovereign grace affect our ability to seek the Lord?

The Bible teaches that in our natural condition, we are dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1-3) and incapable of seeking God on our own (Romans 3:11). It is only through God's sovereign grace that we are given the new heart and will to seek Him (Ezekiel 36:26-27). John 6:44 states, 'No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him.' Thus, it is God's initiative that allows us to seek Him in faith, demonstrating that salvation and the desire for righteousness come from His power and grace alone.
