How do we know that all men are sinful?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible clearly states that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, proving the total depravity of humanity.

In Romans 3:23, we find the definitive declaration that 'all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This concept of total depravity is reinforced throughout Scripture and is essential in the understanding of human nature in relation to God's holiness. Paul systematically shuts every door on the notion of self-righteousness by illustrating that both Jews and Gentiles, regardless of their religious observance or lack thereof, are equally guilty before God. This total depravity means that every aspect of humanity is marked by sin, which necessitates a savior for redemption. Without recognizing our utter inability to save ourselves, we cannot properly rely on Christ's sufficient grace.
