The Bible explains that all men are sinners and spiritually dead due to Adam's sin, as stated in Romans 5:12.
The doctrine of humanity’s fallenness is rooted in scripture. Romans 5:12 states that through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, thus spreading to all men because all sinned. Additionally, Psalm 51:5 captures David's confession of sin, acknowledging his sinful nature from conception. Mankind has a tendency toward rebellion against God, which is evident in daily life. The fallen condition of humanity manifests as spiritual death, whereby individuals are unable to seek God apart from divine intervention. This is further detailed in Ephesians 2:1-3, which describes individuals as dead in trespasses and sins, emphasizing humanity's inherent sinful state.
