Many people have trouble with the concept of total depravity. While not denying they are sinners, many people feel that their sin isn’t bad enough to condemn them. What they don’t understand is ... More
Paul has already charged that both Jews and Gentiles are guilty before God. Now he declares that all men are sinners and he seeks to prove it with references from the Old Testament. “All are under sin” (v. 9). This sin reaches into every area of life:
Paul declares that “Every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God” (v. 19). While it is true that God’s standard is perfect, and that obedience to it would secure Divine blessing, the fact remains that in actual life no one is able to keep it (v. 20). Sin has infected and affected every part of our being. But to say that, is to say nothing more than the historic Protestant doctrine of Total Depravity. It means that sin has affected every part of man’s being; his mind, his emotions, his will, his intellect, his moral reasoning, his decision making, his words and his deeds. There is an evil seed inside each of us which may lie dormant for years and pop up without warning.
