Why is it impossible for man to seek God?

Answered in 1 source

According to Romans 3:11, no one seeks after God due to the fallen nature of humanity.

The doctrine of total depravity, as articulated in Romans 3:11, posits that no one seeks after God because of humanity’s fallen condition. Sin has affected all aspects of our being, rendering us alienated from God and unwilling to approach Him on our own. This inability emphasizes the need for divine intervention; it underscores the importance of grace in salvation. Understanding that humanity cannot initiate a relationship with God highlights the beauty of the gospel—Christ comes to those who cannot come to Him, seeking and saving the lost who are helpless in their sin.
