How does the concept of human depravity relate to grace?

Answered in 1 source

Human depravity underscores the need for grace by showing that all are incapable of saving themselves.

The concept of human depravity, rooted in scriptures like Psalm 14:2-3 and Romans 3:10-12, reveals that every person is born in sin and wholly unable to seek God on their own. This total inability highlights humanity's desperate need for grace. It stresses that salvation cannot be achieved through personal effort or merit, but is entirely a gift from God. Understanding depravity is crucial as it frames our perception of grace — God must act on our behalf to bring about salvation, and it is this undeserved favor that empowers and sustains the believer's faith.
