=Cruxis117;7523773]I’ve often heard this phrase, taken from Romans 3. I have seen some other verses that say something similar, when taken out of context. I was wondering, what bible verses/parts tell us about searching for God? I’m not Sola Scriptura (obviously), but I’m just curious. I am already aware of 1 Timothy 2:2 and 1 John 2:2 and others, which invites all people into communion with God. But I’m just curious. Thanks for your reponses!
