What does the Bible say about man's original state?

In Genesis, we see that man was created in the moral image of God and was declared 'very good' at creation. This original state was characterized by perfect holiness, knowledge, and love, reflecting God's nature. However, the fall into sin resulted in a loss of this moral likeness to God, leading to spiritual death and enmity against Him. This deterioration is expressed in Lamentations 5:16, where it is lamented, 'The crown has fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned.' The once glorious temple of man became defiled and lost its original glory, necessitating regeneration for restoration.
