ALL HAVE SINNED.

Many people believe man is naturally good and we become bad due to our environment. Aristotle said, “There is no good in mankind.” Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” The Apostle Paul said, “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). 

All human experience confirms man is naturally bad. We are born into a fallen world and sin is part of our nature. When we observe small children, selfishness and sinfulness come naturally. We are all sinners because Adam passed on his sinful condition to us. Before a child can be held accountable for personal sin, he or she is naturally prone to disobey, to tell lies, etc. Every child is born with a sin nature.
