Motive

This keeps cropping up.

 

Yes, men are born with a sin nature.

 

So, people assume, then, that a sinner who cries out to God to save him for purely selfish reasons cannot be heard or responded to by God because their motive is selfish.

 

Will God refuse to hear the selfish cry for mercy from a morally, totally depraved sinner?

 

Faulty assumption.
