What does the Bible say about our nature as humans?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible reveals that we are born dead in trespasses and sins, unable to save ourselves.

Scripture teaches us that our natural state is one of spiritual death. In Ezekiel 16, we see the imagery of an infant abandoned in a field, representing humanity's helplessness and utter inability to merit God's mercy. We are described as being shapen in iniquity; our very existence from birth is marred by sin. Without divine intervention, we are lost and utterly undeserving of grace. Only through God's sovereign mercy can we hope to receive salvation.
