What does the Bible say about the state of man?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that man is spiritually dead due to sin, as illustrated in Ezekiel 37 with the vision of dry bones.

The state of man, according to Scripture, is one of spiritual death, as emphasized in the vision of dry bones in Ezekiel 37. This passage illustrates that all of humanity is in a valley of dead bones, representing spiritual death and separation from God. Romans 3:10 reminds us that 'there is none righteous, no, not one,' and Ephesians 2:1 declares that people are 'dead in trespasses and sins.' This spiritual condition is a direct consequence of man's rebellion against God, as shown in the Garden of Eden when sin brought death into the world (Genesis 2:17). Without divine intervention, humanity remains in this state of death, helpless and without hope.
