What we believe: |
|
Total Depravity
We believe that all men are born with a sinful nature. This inward, twisted character motivates people to do wrong, not right. It produces a hostility to God and godliness which frequently manifests itself in rebellion against His laws, unconcern about His glory, and unthankfulness for His blessings. Because of this sinful tendency in the heart, the potential to commit the most heinous sins is present in every person. By nature, man is incapable of loving God, desiring God, or pleasing God. He does not care about the Bible, the church, or the spiritual dimension of life. He is “dead in trespasses and in sins.” Unless he is born again, he cannot function in the spiritual realm. He is corrupt, vile, and ungodly. He is, furthermore, under the sentence of God’s wrath, condemned to separation from God (Rom. 3:10-13,23; 1 Cor. 2:14). |
