What does the Bible mean by the total ruin of man?

Answered in 1 source

The total ruin of man refers to humanity's fallen state and inability to save themselves due to sin (Ephesians 2:1).

The total ruin of man teaches that all humanity is born in sin, spiritually dead, and unable to come to God on their own. Ephesians 2:1 affirms that we are 'dead in trespasses and sins.' This doctrine emphasizes the need for divine intervention through grace, as it disallows any notion of self-righteousness and points to Christ as the only source of salvation. Without acknowledging our ruin, we cannot fully appreciate the depth of God's mercy and grace in saving us.
