=== Jesus and the Bible on human nature ===
    
[[Jesus Christ]] and the [[Old Testament]] prophets taught that human nature is evil.  Jesus said, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the [[Holy Spirit]] to those who ask Him?" (Luke 11: 13).  The prophet [[Jeremiah]] said, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9). In addition,  [[Jesus Christ]] and the Bible teach that men are in need of redemption and the power of God to reform. See: [http://www.openbible.info/topics/redemption Bible verses about redemption] and [http://www.openbible.info/topics/transformation Bible verses on transformation].
