What does the Bible say about free will in relation to salvation?

According to Scripture, specifically in John 5:40, our Lord declares that humanity will not come to Him for life. This reflects the state of our hearts due to sin; we are spiritually dead and incapable of choosing righteousness on our own. Genesis 3 shows us Adam's disobedience as the point of mankind's fall, which left us with a corrupt nature that desires evil. As Romans 5:12 articulates, sin entered the world through one man, which condemned all. Therefore, unless God first chooses and draws us to Christ, we will not come to Him. This aligns with Martin Luther's assertion that any ascription of salvation to human free will demonstrates a misunderstanding of grace.
