How do we know humans are totally depraved?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible asserts that all humans are totally depraved, being spiritually dead and unable to turn to God (Romans 5:12).

The doctrine of total depravity states that every aspect of humanity is affected by sin, rendering individuals unable to seek God on their own. Romans 5:12 proclaims, 'Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.' This indicates that all humans are naturally separated from God and incapable of achieving righteousness without divine intervention. Genesis 6 further emphasizes this depravity by stating that the thoughts of man’s heart are only evil continuously, illustrating the pervasive nature of sin.
