How do we know humanity is incapacitated due to the fall?

Answered in 1 source

Humanity is incapacitated by the fall because sin entered the world through Adam, affecting all of mankind.

In 2 Samuel 9, Mephibosheth's condition illustrates the spiritual incapacitation of all humanity due to the fall. Just as Mephibosheth became lame through a fall, humanity fell with Adam, our representative. Romans 5:12 states, 'Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.' This shows that we inherit a sinful nature and the inability to seek God on our own. The fall has also left our understanding darkened and our will in bondage, making it impossible for us to come to Christ without divine intervention.
