God made humanity – male and female – in His likeness, to glorify Him by enjoying His presence and fellowship. Tempted by Satan, humanity – in Adam and Eve – rebelled against God, and spread the curse of sin to every person that would be born into this world. Separated from God by the wickedness that now reigns in each individual, humanity is under Divine wrath and completely incapable – apart from a work of the Spirit – of ever returning to God. This depravity is radical and pervasive, extending to the mind, will, and affections of all people. Fallen sinners, despite their character, morality, or merits, are lost and without hope, condemned to suffer in endless torment under God’s wrath, unless they are drawn to salvation in Jesus Christ (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:10-18, 22-23; Ephesians 2:1-3).
