What does the Bible say about our sinful condition?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), and that sin is a pervasive condition that affects every part of our being.
The Bible describes our sinful condition as akin to being spiritually leprous, where sin corrupts the entirety of our being. In Romans 3:23, it asserts that 'all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This means that regardless of outward appearances or earthly accomplishments, every person is fundamentally flawed and in need of cleansing. Just as leprosy is an incurable disease that signifies a loss of health, so sin signifies a loss of spiritual life. Without intervention from God, humanity's state before Him is hopeless, necessitating a Savior who can restore what has been lost.
