What does the Bible teach about the nature of man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that man is spiritually dead in sin and incapable of reconciling himself to God without divine intervention.

Scriptures such as Ephesians 2:1-3 depict the natural state of man as spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, emphasizing humanity’s inability to seek God or make righteous decisions on its own. This underscores the necessity of grace and divine action for salvation. The doctrine of total depravity, part of the Reformed tradition, asserts that due to the fall, every aspect of man is affected by sin, necessitating a sovereign act of God to regenerate the heart and will towards Him.
