How do we know human inability is true?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all people are spiritually dead and unable to come to Christ on their own, as emphasized in John 6:65.

Human inability, or the total depravity of mankind, asserts that fallen humans, due to sin, lack the ability to seek God or to respond to Him positively without divine intervention. In John 6:65, Jesus says, 'No one can come to me unless it has been granted him by the Father.' This illustrates that apart from the enabling grace of God, no one will turn to Christ. The teaching is supported further by Paul's assertion in 1 Corinthians 2:14, which identifies that the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit because they are spiritually discerned. Thus, human inability underscores the necessity of a sovereign act of divine grace in bringing the sinner to faith.
