What does the Bible say about man's ability to achieve spiritual life?

Scripture indicates that man, in his natural state, is totally depraved, meaning every part of his being is impacted by sin. As stated in Romans 3:10-12, 'There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.' Without divine intervention, individuals are incapable of seeking God or recognizing their need for salvation. This total inability demonstrates that spiritual life cannot originate from within us; it must come from God alone.
