Original sin is supported in Scripture, especially in Romans 5, which teaches that all are made sinners through Adam's transgression.
The doctrine of original sin asserts that all humanity inherits a sinful nature because of Adam's disobedience. This teaching is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly in Romans 5:12, which states that through one man's sin, death entered the world and spread to all men. This passage indicates that we are not merely influenced by Adam's sin, but we share in his guilt and corruption by nature. The resulting condition of humanity underscores our need for redemption through Christ, the last Adam, who reverses the effects of the fall.
