How do we know our sinful nature is real?

Answered in 2 sources

Our sinful nature is evident through the inner turmoil and sinful thoughts that arise within us, as highlighted in Matthew 15:19.

The reality of our sinful nature is clearly articulated in Scripture, particularly in Matthew 15:19, where Jesus states, 'For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.' This passage reveals that our hearts are inherently sinful, and the manifestation of sin in our lives serves as testimony to our fallen nature. The inward battle between our desire to follow God's ways and the temptations we face illuminates the depth of our pride and need for redemption. Recognizing our sinful nature is crucial, as it leads us to cry out for God's mercy and cleansing, much like David did when he pleaded for a clean heart.
