"For the entire Law is fulfilled in in this one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."—Gal 5:14

Is mankind wholly depraved?

Added on by Lucas Necessary.

There is often the thought that mankind is wholly depraved, yet Jesus identified a class of people that He appreciated, saying,

"But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance." (Luke 8:15)

Having a good and honest heart is certainly not an attribute of being totally depraved, so let's show that by holding Jesus fast and bearing fruit!
