Can anyone come to God on their own?

Answered in 1 source

No, according to the Bible, no one seeks God unless drawn by the Father (John 6:44).

The doctrine of total depravity emphasizes that in our natural state, we are unable to seek God or come to Him on our own. John 6:44 states, 'No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him.' This highlights the necessity of divine intervention for anyone to respond to God. Just like Ezekiel prophesied to the dry bones, it is God who must breathe life into the spiritually dead. In this way, we understand that faith itself is a gift from God, not something that we can conjure up by our own strength or will.
