‘The Sad State Of Fallen Humanity.’
a) Romans 1:21. Their minds are full of foolish things and their hearts, being without sense, are made dark.
b) Genesis 6:5. The sins of humanity are great on the Earth and all the thoughts of their heart are evil.
c) Ephesians 4:17-18. Fallen humanity’s state:-
1- Their minds are turned to that which has no profit.
2- Their thoughts are dark.
3- The Life of God is strange to them because they are without knowledge.
4- Their hearts have been made hard.
d) Romans 1:25. They have false ideas about the Word of God and they worship and honour the thing that is made rather than the Maker.
e) 2 Corinthians 4:4. The god of this World system has blinded their eyes.

Chris.
The thoughts of the hearts of fallen humanity are evil. This is one of the reasons that the Bible tells us about the wrong yoke. This yoke is the True Believer being yoked together with a non believer. This is not only to do with potential marriage partners but also to do with business partnerships and any kind of contracted partnership. Being incorrectly yoked may cause us many unnecessary struggles with evil thoughts and desires.
