We believe that "all men have sinned and come short of the glory of God;" and are subject to eternal punishment; and need repentance and regeneration. (Genesis 3.1--19, Isaiah 53.6)
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.
Romans 3.23 NLT
Though most people would readily accept that there is evil in the world, some would have difficulty accepting that there is evil in man--even in an innocent child. The doctrine of man's depraved nature discusses the inherent sinfulness of man as a result of the nature inherited from the first man, Adam.
Some of the topics addressed under this heading are
1. the nature of man
2. the difference between the soul and the spirit
3. the concept of sin
4. the fall of man
5. the consequences of the fall
6. man's need for a saviour
