Do Unbelievers Seek God?
Summary
R.C. Sproul challenges the common assumption that non-Christians are actively seeking God. He argues that while people pursue God’s benefits, such as peace and meaning, they often reject God Himself. Sproul identifies this as a deductive error, asserting that human sin involves wanting divine blessings without submission to God. Therefore, humanity is running from God rather than seeking Him.
