The theological doctrine of total depravity, asserting that human nature is fundamentally corrupted by sin rather than merely being "basically good." Using vivid metaphors like a car submerged in a pool, the author argues that every aspect of the human person—mind, will, and emotions—is spiritually dead and inclined toward rebellion. The narrative rejects secular views like evolution or humanism, which suggest mankind is morally neutral or contains a hidden spark of divinity. Instead, the sources emphasize that people are incapable of seeking God or earning salvation through their own efforts or merits. By establishing the depth of human brokenness, the text highlights the necessity of a Savior who resurrects the dead rather than a coach who simply improves behavior. Ultimately, the doctrine serves to magnify the power of divine grace, suggesting that true worship only begins when one recognizes their complete helplessness apart from Christ
