What does the Bible teach about man's ability to save himself?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that man is spiritually dead and unable to contribute to his own salvation.

Scripture teaches that humanity, by nature, is spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1), incapable of generating faith or righteousness without divine intervention. This condition is rooted in the Fall, where Adam's disobedience resulted in death, alienating humanity from God. The inability of dead men to effectuate their salvation reinforces the Christian belief that only through God's sovereign grace can one be brought to life spiritually. Salvation is not something that individuals can attain by their efforts; it is a gift from God, highlighting the need for His grace and mercy.
