What does the Bible say about man's inability to please God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches in Romans 8:8 that those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:8 states, 'So then, they that are in the flesh cannot please God.' This verse emphasizes man’s inability to please God due to his fallen nature. The Apostle Paul explains that the carnal mind is enmity against God, and it is not subject to God's law. Without divine grace, the natural man remains in a state of rebellion, blind to the spiritual truths of the Gospel, making it impossible for him to satisfy God’s holiness or to attain salvation on his own.
