What does it mean that man cannot come to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

It means that due to our fallen nature, we lack the ability to seek God without His divine intervention.

In John 6:44, Christ states that no one can come to Him unless drawn by the Father, highlighting the total depravity of man’s nature post-Fall. This inability is not merely intellectual; it is rooted in our sinful hearts which are naturally inclined away from God. The sermon emphasizes that man's nature is corrupted, and thus, without God’s sovereign grace to draw us, we cannot seek or come to Christ. This truth underscores the necessity of God's initiating grace for salvation.
