What does the Bible say about depravity?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that all humanity is born into depravity due to Adam's sin, making us incapable of righteousness on our own.

Depravity, as detailed in Scripture, indicates that every individual is born with a corrupt nature inherited from Adam. Romans 5:12 states that 'by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.' This emphasizes that we are all guilty and in need of salvation, as even the best of human efforts cannot satisfy God's perfect justice. Without intervention, we remain enslaved to sin, demonstrating that our hearts by nature are not inclined toward God but rather away from Him.
