Man was created in the image and likeness of God. Through the rebellion of our first parents all mankind fell into the state of sin. As a result, every human being is born with an overpowering nature bent on sinning. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that all human beings do sin. There is absolutely nothing that man can do to change his condition. Even the best deeds that man can do are totally unacceptable to God (Rom. 5:12; Ps. 51:5; Rom. 3:10-18,23; Isa. 64:6).
