This is Biblical talks with Elder Michael Tolliver
The doctrine of fallen man
From this original corruption, whereby we are completely indisposed, disabled and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil do proceed all real transgressions.
Rom. 3:10-12
as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”
The doctrine that fallen man is completely touched by sin and that he is completely a sinner. He is not as bad as he could be, but in all areas of his being, body, soul, spirit, mind, emotions, etc., he is touched by sin. In that sense he is totally depraved. Because man is depraved, nothing good can come out of him
and God must account the righteousness of Christ to him. This righteousness is obtainable only through faith in Christ and what He did on the cross.
I want you to listen to what Voddie Baucham had to say about the radical nature of our Depravity.
A.W. Pink
The dynamic question most requiring to be raised today is this: Is man a totally and painstakingly depraved creature by nature? Does he enter the world completely ruined and helpless, spiritually blind and dead in trespasses and sins? It is based on this dark background that the whole Bible proceeds. Any attempt to modify or decrease, reject, or tone down the teaching of Scripture on the matter is fatal. Put the question in another form: Is man now in such a condition that he cannot be saved without the special and direct intervention of the triune God on his behalf? In other words, is there any hope for him apart from his personal election by the Father, his particular redemption by the Son, and the supernatural operations of the Spirit within him? Or, putting it in still another way: If man is a totally depraved being, can he possibly take the first step in the matter of his return to God? We are children of wrath. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace, you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
