All don't want to live with God unless He regenerates them.
Romans 3:11
there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
Romans 3:10
As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;
Faith is a gift according to Ephesians 2:8-10. It's not something we can muster up.
I'm just struggling with the thought of "why few are enabled to believe".
Hello and God bless,
All who are not made the righteousness of God through faith have either hated the light they had (which ever human being in earth has this given, John 1:9) or they believed not and hardened thier heart to God.
God calls all men everywhere to repent. But They would not all come to Jesus. It’s not because he didn’t give them opportunity. How often he would gather men but they would not.
They believe not, they hardened their heart and hated the light.
Consider these verses,
“ 2 Corinthians 4:3. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
John 3:19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.21. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
notice that everyone that doeth evil, that would include all men from Adam till today,
Ephesians 5:13. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.”
John 1:9. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”
Acts 17:26. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;27. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:”
Romans 1:18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest
in them; for God hath shewed it unto them”
(KJV here)
