A Reason for Unbelief
In Deuteronomy 29:2–4 Moses summons all of Israel and says, "You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. But to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear."
i.e. Left to themselves (to their own native resources) they are blind, deaf and hard-hearted. This is the condition of ALL MEN unless God grants eyes, ears and a new heart.
