How do we know sin is a disease according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible depicts sin as a disease that is fatal to the soul, inherited from Adam.

Sin is referred to as an incurable disease in the Bible, a truth highlighted in Romans 5:12, which explains that through Adam's sin, all humanity became infected. This hereditary disease is both disabling and fatal, preventing us from serving and worshipping God. The apostle Paul states that 'the wages of sin is death' (Romans 6:23), illustrating the mortal nature of sin, which ultimately leads to spiritual death without divine intervention. Sin's loathsome nature is emphasized by God's pure eyes that can’t behold iniquity (Habakkuk 1:13), showing its severe consequences in God's sight.
