What does the Bible say about man's desire to come to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that man does not want to come to Christ due to his rebellious nature (John 5:40).

According to John 5:40, Jesus articulates the fundamental spiritual condition of mankind: 'Ye will not come to me that ye might have life.' This underscores the sovereign grace perspective that man, left to his own devices and nature, does not desire to turn to Christ for salvation. Instead, he remains resistant, reflecting his corrupt and fallen state. This unwillingness is not merely a passive state but an active rebellion against God’s call to come to Him. The Scriptures affirm that it is only by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit that anyone can genuinely desire Christ and seek Him for salvation (Ephesians 2:1).
