How do we know that mankind is spiritually dead?

Answered in 1 source

Ephesians 2:1 states that humanity is dead in trespasses and sins, meaning they are spiritually unable to respond to God.

The doctrine of the spiritual death of mankind stems from Ephesians 2:1, which declares, 'And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.' This signifies that apart from God's intervention, human beings are spiritually lifeless and incapable of initiating a relationship with Him. The fall of Adam resulted in the death of all humanity, and thus, only through God's sovereign grace can individuals be made alive through Christ. This concept underscores the necessity of divine action in the salvation process, as dying in sin means one cannot choose God without being first quickened by His Spirit.
