Total Depravity

Depravity is something most people will not talk about let alone total depravity. The dicctionary definition of this is the state of being depraved: moral corruption and degradation. In laymans terms, someone who's rights and wrongs are rotten; people who sin. As sinners, as the Bible says, we deserve death. Becasue we sin, we are dead- Colossians 2:13When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins. The Bible is saying(Gods word) is that if you are human(becasue of the corruption of the human race by Adam and Eve), then you are dead in your sins. We all sin, even if it was just lying some times and the like; we are all sinners and if you say you aren't, then you just lied. So overviewing that we are dead in our sins, how do we get alive again like it says in Collosians 2:13. Thats why Jesus Christ died, so we could be made clean and enter into heaven. Jesus humbled himself(he is God Philippians 2) and came to the earth, was perfect, died for our sins(for the glory of God), and rose again. If you don't believe in total depravity; then you are first off, going against what the Bible teaches, and secondly, saying that you don't need Christ who died for you. Total depravity leads into election(God chose us to be Christians) because dead people can't save ourselves and verses like Ephesians 1:4. What an amazing savior we have.
