How do we know that Adam's sin impacted all of humanity?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 5:12 explains that through one man, sin entered the world, affecting all people.

The theological concept known as Original Sin posits that Adam's transgression affected not just himself, but all of humanity because he was our federal head. Romans 5:12 states, 'Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.' This highlights the reality that every person inherits a sinful nature because of Adam's rebellion. His actions in the garden set up a hereditary condition passed down through generations, necessitating the need for salvation through Jesus Christ.
