The Condition of Man

Sinful Nature

The bad news for us is that every human is born into sin and born with a selfish nature (This is why Jesus says in John 3:3 that we must be born again to be saved).

Firstly, we are all born into sin:

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.

The reason for this is becuase we are born according to the likeness of Adam and sinful flesh. We inherit the fallen nature of Adam by birth:

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world,
and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned

Selfish & Pridefull

Every human is born selfish, looking out for only their own interests.

I mean look at this:

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above.
