How does the account of Babel relate to the doctrine of total depravity?

Total depravity, a key doctrine in Reformed theology, posits that every aspect of humanity is affected by sin, leading to rebellion against God's authority. The Tower of Babel exemplifies this doctrine as it reveals a unified humanity determined to challenge God's command and seek their own glory. The preacher emphasizes that this rebellion was not merely an isolated incident but a continuation of mankind's sinful nature evident since the Fall. As man seeks to establish their own way, it showcases the need for redemption through Christ. The account ultimately points to the intervention of God’s grace necessary to counteract humanity's natural disposition towards sin.
