Why is it necessary to preach total depravity?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching total depravity is necessary because it underscores the need for grace and reveals human inability to save themselves.

The doctrine of total depravity teaches that every aspect of humanity is affected by sin, making us incapable of coming to God on our own. This fundamental truth is crucial in demonstrating why grace is necessary. Scripture declares, 'there is none righteous, no, not one' (Romans 3:10), ensuring that all people understand their need for Christ. When this truth is preached, it results in an acknowledgment of one's spiritual condition, leading to a genuine dependence on Christ for salvation. Recognizing our complete inability is essential to receiving the mercy that the gospel offers.
