How do we know all are against God by nature?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture testifies in Romans 8:7 that the carnal mind is enmity against God, confirming our natural opposition.

The doctrine of total depravity posits that every aspect of humanity is affected by sin, leading to an inherent opposition to God. Romans 8:7 states, "The carnal mind is enmity against God," illustrating that by nature, we cannot submit to God's law, nor can we please Him. This enmity is exemplified throughout biblical history, where figures like Adam and Jonah exhibit resistance against God’s commands. Hence, understanding our position requires acceptance of Scripture's testimony to our sinful nature, reminding us of our need for divine grace.
