What does the Bible say about the nature of mankind's sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all men are totally depraved and unable to save themselves due to Adam's fall.

The doctrine of total depravity affirms that all of humanity is fallen and unable to seek God or come to salvation without divine intervention. Romans 3:10 states, 'There is none righteous, no, not one,' indicating the total inability of mankind to achieve righteousness on their own. This condition results from Adam's sin, which brought death and separation from God for all. Without God's grace, individuals are spiritually dead, blind, and deaf to the things of God, necessitating the work of the Holy Spirit to regenerate their hearts and enable faith. Understanding our depravity sets the stage for recognizing our need for a Savior, underscoring the graciousness of God in providing Christ as the Redeemer.
