What does the Bible say about man's status as a sinner?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that man's carnal mind is enmity against God and cannot be subject to His law.

According to Romans 8:7-9, the carnal mind is fundamentally at odds with God; it embodies a state of hostility towards Him. This state denotes that those who exist in the flesh—representing their natural, sinful condition—cannot please God. The Scriptures affirm that mankind, created in God's image, has fallen from grace through sin, making him now a creature corrupted and incapable of righteousness. As a result, God's revelation through the law showcases man's inability to fulfill its requirements, illustrating how deep the chasm between God and man has become because of sin.
