Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—

Before God saves us we are dead spiritually. We cannot even see the Kingdom of God, because we are dead, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." The dead man does not even want to find God, nor can he, he is dead. God must give him life!
