Depravity (Romans 1:26-31): God allowed man to seek after his own desires and every manor of evil occurred because their hearts were darkened by their sin. (Romans 1:21). Pursuing their own desires and lusts, we committed all types of sin:
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. (Hebrews 3:12-19)

- By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. (Hebrews 11:24-27)
- but he was in the shadow of things to come (Hebrews 8:5)
- face still shown with glory of God
Where Spirit of Lord is there is Freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17).

Depravity (Romans 1:26-31): God allowed man to seek after his own desires and every manor of evil occurred because their hearts were darkened by their sin. (Romans 1:21). Pursuing their own desires and lusts, we committed all types of sin:
- homosexuality and all sexually immoral behaviors;
- all unrighteousness and evil;
- Coveting: desiring what others have, resenting that they have it,
- wanting to harm others, resenting others well-being;
- wanting to fight, be mad, and even kill each other;
- misleading others and lying;
- being filled with bitterness, being rude and lacking respect;
- speaking ill of each other, betraying confidences, falsehoods;
- exaggerating our own achievements, talking about ourselves and always listing our achievements;
- selfishness: being all about ourselves, rather than caring for others; lacking good judgment, lacking feelings for another, and showing no compassion for each other;
- disrespectful and disobedient to parents;
- inventors of evil, faithless and haters of God
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. (Hebrews 3:12-19)
- But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called, 'today,' that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.
- As it is said, 'Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.' For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was He provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
