Does Fallen Human Nature Itself Merit Guilt?

Hello and welcome. In this article, we examine human nature after the fall and seek to understand if merely having a fallen human nature merits guilt and, as a result, condemnation and wrath from God. This question is related to the doctrine of the fall and its potential consequences. Our primary article on ancestral sin, which outlines our view of the consequences of Adam's sin for humanity, can be read here. To answer this question, we will examine biblical texts and historical sources.
