Hello. Can someone point me in the right direction?

You assume that God reflects Himself in fallen men, and that total sinfulness is not mankinds' actual condition and state of being.

It's not an assumption when Scripture tells us that God is reflected in us. What sin does to the aspects of God in us is what keeps us from Him.

God has revealed there is none righteous, no not one.

But that does not mean that there are not aspects of Him in us.

Knowledge, faith, and love of God, by necessity, comes from outside the fallen creature; not from within. John 6:44

" 'But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,' declares the LORD, 'I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,' declares the LORD, 'for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.' " Jeremiah 31:33-34

So I would have to say yes and no to your statement.
