What does the Bible say about free will in coming to Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them (John 6:44).

Jesus makes it clear in John 5:40, stating that people will not come to Him to have life. This reflects a natural inability due to our fallen nature. The essence of Scripture shows that humans cannot seek God on their own. John 6:44 reiterates this truth, affirming that no one can come unless the Father draws them. Our sinful nature is at enmity with God, which means that the initiative must belong to God alone to enable us to seek Him.
