How can we explain the fall of man from a biblical perspective?

Answered in 1 source

The fall of man occurred when Adam disobeyed God, resulting in sin and spiritual death for humanity.

The doctrine of the fall of man is rooted in Genesis 3, where Adam's disobedience leads to sin entering the world. This event not only fractured the relationship between God and humanity but also resulted in the pervasive nature of sin affecting all of Adam's descendants. Romans 5:12 explicitly states that 'sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.' Therefore, every human inherits a sinful nature and is spiritually dead, dependent on God's sovereign grace for regeneration and salvation, ultimately fulfilled through Christ.
