How do we know that we are born sinners?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that all are born in sin due to the original sin of Adam, as seen in Psalm 51.

David highlights in Psalm 51:5 that he was 'shapen in iniquity' and 'in sin did my mother conceive me,' underscoring the doctrine of original sin. This teaches us that every human being inherits a sinful nature from Adam as part of the human condition, leading to a universal need for redemption found only in Christ. This concept is foundational in Reformed theology, affirming that without regeneration by the Holy Spirit, all humanity remains dead in trespasses and sins.
