About this listen

The doctrine of total depravity, which asserts that humanity is spiritually bankrupt and entirely unable to achieve salvation through personal effort.

Sin has radically corrupted every aspect of human nature from birth, rendering individuals spiritually dead and incapable of performing any work that is good in God’s sight.

Humans are not basically good but are instead hopelessly lost and subject to divine wrath. Because of this helpless state, salvation must be viewed as an act of pure grace initiated by God rather than a choice made by man. Ultimately, this perspective frames divine intervention as the only possible remedy for the inherent wickedness of the human heart.
