How does the centurion's faith exemplify total depravity?

Answered in 1 source

The centurion recognized his unworthiness and helplessness, reflecting the doctrine of total depravity.

The centurion's faith portrays the doctrine of total depravity through his recognition that he deserved nothing from Christ. He felt unfit to approach Jesus based on his own merit, which aligns with the Reformed understanding that all humanity is sinful and unable to attain righteousness on their own. This understanding opens the door for grace, showing that only Christ's righteousness can justify us before God. His approach exemplifies how true faith recognizes personal inability and looks solely to Christ for healing and salvation.
