Why do people not come to Jesus for life?

In John 5:40, Jesus states, 'and ye will not come to me, that ye might have life,' addressing the human resistance toward recognizing Him as the source of life. This unwillingness is rooted in our fallen nature, where the will is often inclined towards rebellion and darkness rather than light. Romans 3:10-12 affirms that no one seeks God by nature, indicating that unless God intervenes by His power to change a person's heart, they will persist in their refusal to come to Christ. Understanding this dynamic is essential for grasping the depth of God’s grace in bringing us to salvation.
