Why is the doctrine of the total depravity of man significant?

Answered in 1 source

Total depravity underscores the necessity of grace, as all humans are inherently incapable of choosing God without divine intervention.

The doctrine of total depravity highlights that due to original sin, every aspect of humanity is affected by sin—mind, heart, and will. This condition means that apart from God's grace, we are unable to seek or choose Him. Recognizing our total inability fosters reliance on God's mercy and the efficacy of Christ's redemptive work. It confirms the need for sovereign grace in bringing us to faith and assures us that our salvation is entirely dependent on God, not ourselves.
