What does the Bible teach about humanity's depravity?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that humanity is wholly depraved and incapable of seeking God without divine intervention (Romans 3:10-12).

Humanity's depravity, as outlined in Scripture, indicates that all people are born in sin and cannot seek God on their own. Romans 3:10-12 asserts that 'there is none righteous, no, not one; there is none that understands; there is none that seeks after God.' This total depravity means that, by nature, humans are inclined towards sin and rebellion against God. It highlights the necessity for divine grace and intervention for an individual to be saved. Only through the transformative work of the Spirit can one move from a state of depravity to a renewed heart, capable of loving and serving God.
