Is Change Needed?
Correct Change
The Bible clearly teaches that all people need deep change. We're not OK according to the Bible. The Bible presents people as dead in sin, the objects of God’s righteous anger, and foolishly deceived into being slaves to sin.
- And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest (Eph 2:1-3; cf. Col 2:13).
- He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him (John 3:36).
- For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice an envy, hateful, hating one another (Titus 3:3).
