The Augustinian doctrine of election unto salvation says this: no one wants Christ. No one wants to come into the kingdom of God. The heart is desperately wicked, and it desires only evil continuously. “No one seeks for God,” the Apostle Paul quoted (Rom. 3:11). If left to our own desires and inclinations, none of us would ever incline ourselves to come to Christ. So, in our natural state, none of us wants to enter the kingdom of God.
