then you have been and are His.
So, the Scriptures are inaccurate when they state of those who are not His:
2God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.
3All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4Will the workers of iniquity never learn?
Paul, after quoting a longer section of this Psalm stated:
22And
the righteousness of God is through faith from Jesus Christ toward all those believing.
For there is no distinction,
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus,
25whom God set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood, for a showing forth of His righteousness, because of the forbearance of the sins having taken place beforehand,
26in the forbearance of God, for the showing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for Him to be just, and justifying the
one of
the faith of Jesus.
Therefore, by being His, you were impressed by the Holy Spirit to seek Him.
We all sometime forget the the Jews of the OT were/are His, so verses in which “seek” is used is proper for such reflects the ownership of God. However, the Psalms is stating that those outside the ownership of God do not seek God.
The writer of Romans expresses the ungodly in these terms:
13Their throat
is a grave having been opened; they keep practicing deceit with their tongues;
the venom of vipers
is under their lips,
14of whom the mouth is full of cursing and of bitterness;
15their feet
are swift to shed blood;
16ruin and misery
are in their paths;
17and
the way of peace they have not known.
f
18There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Because by your own testimony you sought and seek Him, you were and are claimed by God as His.
