How do we know depravity is a true doctrine?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of depravity is supported by numerous Scripture passages that affirm all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

The doctrine of depravity is a fundamental teaching in Scripture, stating that every human being is affected by sin. Romans 3:23 tells us, 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' Furthermore, Psalm 51:5 affirms that we are born in sin, indicating that our nature is inherently corrupted. This pervasive sinfulness necessitates divine intervention for salvation, underscoring the critical message of the Gospel that humanism fails to acknowledge. The constant emphasis on human moral failure throughout Scripture reinforces the reality of depravity and the need for God's grace through Christ alone.
