What does the Bible say about man's spiritual inability?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that man has no spiritual ability and is dead in trespasses and sins, needing God's grace for salvation.

Scripture overwhelmingly teaches that man, in his natural state, has no spiritual ability at all. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), and we are dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1). In Genesis 2:16-17, God's command to Adam illustrates the consequence of disobedience, which is death. This sets the tone for understanding that in our sinful nature, we have no ability to choose righteousness or seek God.
Scripture References: Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:1, Genesis 2:16-17
