Scripture teaches that because of the fall, all mankind are incapable of responding positively to God on their own. Scripture goes so far to say that we are "dead in our sins." We aren't just wounded as if it made it a little more difficult to obey God, and therefore, God has to assist us. We are dead in our sins. This corruption (sin) affects our relationship with God and fellow man in a radical way:
* Our relationship with God (our heart, mind, and soul)
* Our relationship with our fellow human beings: (throat, tongue, lips, mouth, feet and eyes)
