How do we know the depravity of man is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states in John 3:19 that men love darkness rather than light, revealing their total depravity and enmity against God.

The doctrine of total depravity is illustrated in John 3:18-19, where it is declared that those who do not believe in Christ are condemned already. The pivotal revelation is that light has come into the world—representing Christ—but men still prefer the darkness due to their evil deeds. This passage not only confirms the existential state of fallen humanity but also highlights the necessity of divine intervention for regeneration. Without God's sovereign grace, individuals remain blind to the truth about Christ and are unable to respond positively to His call. Thus, the scriptural narrative presents a clear picture of human inability to seek after God, underscoring the absolute need for God's sovereign work in salvation.
