How do we know that man cannot please God in the flesh?

Answered in 1 source

According to Romans 8:8, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

The Apostle Paul clearly states in Romans 8:8, 'So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.' This means that apart from the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, human efforts—no matter how well-intentioned—are inherently flawed and tainted by sin. The concept shows that without regeneration, a person is unable to perform actions that God would deem acceptable, highlighting the necessity of divine grace for true pleasing to God.
