What does the Bible say about being unable to believe?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that those who are unregenerate cannot believe because they are not of God (John 8:47).

According to the Gospel of John, particularly in John 8:47, Jesus indicates that the reason some people do not believe Him is that they are not of God. This highlights the biblical doctrine of total depravity, which teaches that humanity, by nature, is spiritually dead and unable to come to faith apart from divine intervention. The unregenerate heart is hostile toward God and naturally inclined to reject the truth of the gospel, which is rooted in their sinful nature. The hope for belief lies solely in the sovereign grace of God, who must first regenerate a person before they can come to faith in Christ.
