The Word of God says of our natural condition, ‘There’s no one who is righteous, not even one.’204 It also says, ‘Every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time,’205 and again, ‘Every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood.’206 Now, then, when we think about ourselves in this sense, our thoughts can only be good when they’re in agreement with God’s Word.”
