How do we know the doctrine of depravity is true?

Answered in 1 source

The testimony of Scripture consistently affirms that all are under sin (Romans 3:10).

The doctrine of total depravity is supported by both the moral behavior of humanity throughout history and the unwavering testimony of Scripture. Paul substantiates this claim in Romans 3 by quoting various Old Testament passages that demonstrate the widespread nature of sin among all people. For example, he references Psalms which declare that there is none who does good and all have turned away. This consistent message across different scriptures and times reinforces the reliability of the doctrine of depravity. Furthermore, the inherent sinful nature of humanity is evidenced in both personal observation and historical events, confirming that we all fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23).
