How do we know that all men are born sinful?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that all men are born in sin due to Adam's disobedience, which brought death and sin to all humanity.

The doctrine of original sin is rooted in Romans 5:12, which states that through one man's sin entered into the world, and death by sin, affecting all men. When Adam fell, he acted as the federal head of humanity, leading to a sinful nature that all descendants inherit. This innate sinfulness means that all human beings are born spiritually dead, as described in Ephesians 2:1-3. Furthermore, the assertion that children are innocent is contradicted by the clear biblical witness that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Thus, we understand our need for grace because, by nature, we cannot seek after God on our own.
