       When we sin, the entirety of ourselves becomes tainted. Think of it like this. If we get a disease in our blood, all of our blood is tainted with that disease, not just part of it. It isn’t that only the blood in one arm and one leg is affected, but the rest of the blood within us is okay. No, it’s is all affected. This is how sin really works. This being the case, this is why, in God’s eyes, every person born into this world is totally depraved in the original sin-nature. This is because any sin of any kind taints the whole person. Even if the person was to do this good work and that good work, if they have any sin inside them, they are completely tainted. Thus, the only way to rectify this problem (and it’s a serious problem) is through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. By trusting in the blood he shed in our place, we can move from becoming completely tainted to completely good, completely whole, a new creation in God’s eyes. So, it’s the total opposite.
