How do we know that all humans are born sinners?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible confirms that all humans are born into sin due to the fall of Adam (Psalm 51:5).

Scripture clearly states in Psalm 51:5 that David was shaped in iniquity and conceived in sin. This reflects the historic Reformed understanding of original sin, which asserts that because of Adam’s transgression, all of humanity inherits a sinful nature. This is foundational to the doctrine of total depravity, which teaches that every part of human nature is affected by sin. Recognizing our fallen nature leads us to understand our need for Christ’s redeeming work.
