Human will is capable of nothing divinely good...

Second, God's Word testifies that the intellect, heart, and will of the natural, unregenerate person in divine things are not only turned entirely away from God, but also are turned and perverted against God to every evil.  Also, a person is not only weak, incapable, unfit, and dead to good, but is also sadly perverted, infected, and corrupted by original sin so that he is entirely evil, perverse, and hostile to God by his disposition and nature.  He is very strong, alive, and active in everything that is displeasing and contrary to God.
~BOC, FSD, II, 17
