What should be our response to knowing we're totally depraved?
Answered in 1 source
Our response should be humble acknowledgement of our need for grace and dependence on Christ.
Recognizing our total depravity leads to a humbling understanding of our own sinfulness and our need for God's grace. In 2 Samuel 23:5, David confesses his depravity, acknowledging, 'Although my house be not so with God.' Such admission humbles us before God, removing any notion of self-righteousness and compelling us to rely solely on Christ for salvation. It is essential for believers to embrace this truth as it leads us to deeper appreciation of God’s grace and the sufficiency of Christ's redemptive work. Through this acknowledgment, we find comfort and assurance in God’s everlasting covenant, which secures our place in His family.
