What does the Bible say about the universal depravity of man?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that all men are universally depraved and have rebelled against God as seen in Romans 3:10-12.
The universal depravity of man is a fundamental concept in Scripture, asserting that all humanity is born into sin and rebellion against God. Isaiah 1:2-5 describes God's people as laden with iniquity, highlighting a cosmic rebellion against their Creator. Paul echoes this in Romans 3:10-12, stating that there is none righteous, no, not one, emphasizing that by nature, we are spiritually dead and incapable of pleasing God. This depravity manifests in ignorance of God’s righteousness and a rejection of His authority, illustrated by the analogy of an ox knowing its owner while Israel does not recognize the Lord (Isaiah 1:3).
