How do we know we have sinful natures?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that all humanity has inherited a sinful nature from Adam, leading to enmity against God.

The doctrine of original sin is foundational in Reformed theology, explaining that all humans inherit a sinful nature from Adam. This is reflected in passages like Romans 5:12, which states that sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, resulting in death spreading to all men. The civil war between the flesh and the spirit, as described in Romans 7, is a testament to the reality of this sinful nature. Just like Abner, who initially led others into conflict and only sought peace when facing defeat, individuals often resist recognizing their sin until confronted with their predicament before God. Hence, acknowledging our sinful nature is crucial for understanding our need for salvation through Jesus Christ.
