What does the Bible say about man's spiritual death?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that man is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins due to the fall in the garden.

According to Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 2:1, man is spiritually dead, having no inherent ability to seek God or respond to Him. This concept is rooted in the Reformed understanding of original sin, where Adam's fall resulted in the total depravity of all humanity. The spiritual death of man means he is completely unable to save himself or even desire God apart from divine intervention. The reality of our spiritual condition underscores the necessity of the new birth, an act of God's sovereign grace that brings a person to life in Christ, enabling them to seek after God and repent of their sins.
