We see in the lives of Moses and Abraham that the seed in itself was there. Appreciative of God's calling, their obedience to God's word began showing results. Can two persons walk together unless agreed upon?(Am.3:3)
After the great flood nations were moving away from their calling. Going east signalled their ungodliness. Against this we have Abraham bucking the general trend of materialism. In the case of Moses, God called him out."And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. "(Ex.3:4) In obedience faith has a chance to grow and it was thus with the saints of old. Unknown to the Patriarch his faith life was equipping him far greater things. It is faith that opens a believer's eye to know the blessings under the covenant. Without faith what we read here in this forum and elsewhere merely prattle on sacred matters as though they can solve it by their reasoning? "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat." He.5:12 Symptomatic is the relative merits of KJV and other versions. With no appreciation for the Spirit they have itching ears , and it is the case of the bind leading the blind.
If a believer has no resect for his indwelling Spirit no amount of teaching the word is going to help.
