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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that man is completely dead in trespasses and sins, unable to come to God on his own.

The Scriptures assert that the state of man as he is born into this world is one of total depravity. Ephesians 2:1 states, 'And you were dead in the trespasses and sins,' which highlights our utter inability to contribute to our salvation. This is not a mere wounding or spiritual immaturity but a complete death, leaving man without any sight to see God's promises or ability to exercise faith. Recognizing this condition is crucial for understanding the grace and necessity of divine salvation.
