What does the Bible say about spiritual bankruptcy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates spiritual bankruptcy through the state of Saul, who sought counsel apart from God and faced judgment.

Spiritual bankruptcy is exemplified in the story of Saul in 1 Samuel 28. Saul's search for guidance from a medium rather than from God demonstrates the extent of his disconnection from divine provision. This spiritual emptiness is crucial to understanding the depth of our need for Christ, as it highlights our inherent separation from God due to sin. Without acknowledging our spiritual neediness, we cannot grasp the fullness of the gospel or the salvation offered through Christ.
Scripture References: 1 Samuel 28:20-25, Romans 5:6
