How do we know total depravity is true according to Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that all humanity is condemned due to original sin, affirming the doctrine of total depravity.

Total depravity is foundational to understanding human nature in relation to God's grace. Romans 5:12 states, 'Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.' This indicates that all humanity is born in sin and under condemnation, guilty before God. Furthermore, John 6:44 reveals that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them, emphasizing the necessity of divine intervention for salvation. Without acknowledging our total depravity, we cannot fully appreciate the need for Christ's redemptive work.
