How do we know human depravity is true?

Answered in 4 sources

Scripture consistently affirms human depravity, particularly in Romans 3:10-12, which states, 'There is none righteous, no, not one.'

The doctrine of human depravity is grounded in various scriptural passages that illustrate man's sinfulness and inability to seek God on his own. Romans 3:10-12 quotes Psalm 14, citing that 'there is none righteous, no, not one; there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.' This reinforces the assertion that all of humanity has turned aside from God's ways and committed acts of unrighteousness. In addition, Psalm 14 presents humanity's collective condition of moral failure and rebellion against God, depicting a world in need of divine redemption. The consistent message throughout the Scriptures is clear: we cannot attain righteousness through our efforts but must rely on God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
