What does the Bible say about the condition of humanity?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, describing humanity's condition as terminal due to sin.

According to scripture, particularly in Romans 3:23, 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This encompasses every individual, as we are all born in sin and shaped in iniquity (Psalm 51:5). The prophet Jeremiah vividly describes the condition of people as being akin to one suffering from a terminal illness, blind to their need for the healing physician, who is Christ. Sin's pervasive nature means that it affects every aspect of our being, leading to physical, spiritual, and eternal death (Romans 6:23). Ultimately, we are all in desperate need of a cure, but many remain unaware or unwilling to acknowledge their true state.
