Why is it necessary for the gospel to describe man's condition before providing a remedy?

The gospel first reveals the depth of human sinfulness before presenting the remedy in Christ. This approach demonstrates that the message of salvation is not for the self-righteous or those who see themselves as inherently good, but for sinners in need of grace. Ephesians 2:1-3 outlines this condition of spiritual death, illustrating the need for the 'But God' moment where divine mercy and grace offer a solution. This structure reveals the radical nature of God's love and the transformative power of the gospel.
