What does the Bible say about the condition of man before salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that man is dead in trespasses and sins, completely unable to save himself.

Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 2:1, teaches that man, in his natural state, is dead in trespasses and sins. This condition implies total depravity, indicating that without the intervention of God's grace, man cannot produce spiritual life or good. Just as Manoah's wife was barren, so too are we spiritually until God, in His mercy, intervenes and regenerates us. We are utterly dependent on Christ's power to bring us from death to life.
Scripture References: Ephesians 2:1, Judges 13:1-2
