The fallen state of man is evident through Scripture, especially in how sin has corrupted his nature and relation to God.
The evidence of man's fallen state is expressed in Scripture, showing that after the fall, mankind lost its moral resemblance to God. Instead of reflecting God's purity and love, humanity now exhibits enmity towards God, as stated in Romans 8:7, which notes that 'the carnal mind is enmity against God.' This inward rebellion and self-centeredness illustrate the depth of man's moral destitution. God, having been dethroned, no longer dwells in the heart of the sinner, which has become a dwelling place for sin and darkness. The transformation from this fallen state to one of spiritual renewal is essential for a relationship with God.
