¹ The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good. ² The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God. ³ They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. (Psalms 14:1-3)

³ For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, And the greedy man curses {and} spurns the LORD. ⁴ The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek {Him.} All his thoughts are, " There is no God." (Psalms 10:3,4)

“The amazing miracle of commanding a man who can’t respond and then giving him the power to respond is analogous to salvation. The gospel commands dead men to rise. [The gospel commands] dead men to believe. [The gospel commands] dead men to understand. [The gospel commands] dead men to repent. The gospel commands dead people to do, frankly, what they can’t do.” - John F. MacArthur Jr. “The Doctrine of Total Inability” 9/27/07 GTY

“We do well to consider that in the most moral culture this world will ever know, man will love sin. Unless you think that’s shocking, go back to the perfect environment in the Garden of Eden. And remember, there were only two people and they both chose sin. And they did it from innocence, what will humanity do from depravity? It doesn’t matter what age, doesn’t matter what kind of world they live in; depraved people love sin.” – John F. MacArthur Jr. "The Coming Earthly Kingdom of Jesus Christ" GTY 9/6
