It Is Impossible To Have Faith Without The Motivation And Assistance Of The Holy Spirit

As I indicated here, a person's motivation to have faith correctly can only be pure. In other words, it is impossible for someone to be impurely motivated to have faith. I would like to examine this important fact from another angle. Please note below:

Romans 3

9 What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin.
10 As it is written:
"There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one."

The scripture above shows the normal human condition. Absolutely no one seeks after God correctly. People may seek after God through various endeavors and religions (including Christianity and Judaism), but because they don't do it correctly, their efforts do no count. It stands to reason therefore that the motivation to have faith correctly, and to actually carry it out, is only possible through the action of the Holy Spirit as indicated in the following scripture:

2 Corinthians 4

13 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken."With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak,
14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence.

Therefore, without the motivation and action of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible for us to have faith correctly. Someone might respond by saying that we must couple the action of the Holy Spirit motivating us to have faith, with our own pure desire to do so. However Romans 3:12 indicates no such pure desire exists within us, for us to use. Therefore we are left only with the motivation and action of the Holy Spirit enabling us to have faith, and us achieving righteousness through it. That is why the following scripture says what it says below:

Romans 4

13 It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Therefore it is only by the action of the Holy Spirit inspiring and causing us to have faith, that we are able to achieve righteousness – not by any righteous thing we might try also to do.
