Why is understanding the concept of total depravity important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding total depravity emphasizes our complete inability to choose God without His grace.

Total depravity teaches that, due to the fall, every part of our being is affected by sin, rendering us unable to seek God or do any good apart from His grace. This concept is vital for Christians because it drives us to acknowledge our utter reliance on God for salvation. It underscores that if left to ourselves, we would never come to Christ. Therefore, it is God's sovereign grace that initiates salvation in the hearts of the elect, moving them to believe and repent.
