How do we know sin is a universal problem?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, emphasizing the universal nature of sin.

Scripture consistently presents sin as a universal issue affecting every person. Romans 3:23 states, 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This highlights that every individual, regardless of background or belief, shares this sinful condition originating from the fall of Adam. The sermon emphasizes that apart from the regeneration of the Spirit, all men are described as nothing more than savages, acting against what is holy and just. Ecclesiastes 3:16 also illustrates this by showing how wickedness is prevalent even where righteousness should reign. Thus, the total depravity of man stands as a foundational truth in Reformed theology, showcasing our need for both regeneration and salvation through Christ.
