Why is the concept of total depravity significant?

Answered in 1 source

Total depravity highlights humanity's complete inability to save themselves apart from God’s grace.

The doctrine of total depravity reveals the extent of human sinfulness and our need for divine grace. It emphasizes that apart from God, we are incapable of choosing God or doing good in a spiritual sense. Recognizing total depravity is essential for understanding the need for Christ’s atoning sacrifice on the cross, as it shows that salvation is entirely of the Lord. This doctrine ensures that the grace received is understood in light of our utter inability and God's loving mercy.
