How do we know the depravity of man is true according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals the depravity of man through examples of sin and rebellion against God, as seen in the account of the Levite and his concubine in Judges 19.

The depravity of man is vividly illustrated in Judges 19 where we observe the moral corruption and severe departure from God's commands within Israel. The phrase 'every man did that which was right in his own eyes' (Judges 17:6) highlights that without God's guidance, humanity tends toward chaos and sin. This account serves as a stark reminder of humanity's need for redemption, underscoring the truth found in Romans 1:21-23, where it states that fallen humanity knows God but chooses to reject Him, resulting in a downward spiral of moral decay. The behavior of the Israelites in Judges exemplifies the constant struggle against sin that Scripture frequently addresses.
