How do we know the concept of original sin is true?

Answered in 4 sources

The doctrine of original sin is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Romans 5:12, showing that sin and death came through Adam.

The truth of original sin is firmly rooted in biblical teaching. Romans 5:12 articulates that through one man, Adam, sin entered the world, resulting in death for all humanity because all have sinned in him. This means that sin is not merely an act we commit but a condition inherited from our representative, Adam. Thus, this concept explains the innate sinfulness present from conception, as noted in Psalm 51:5, and reveals our desperate need for redemption through Christ, who rectifies what Adam's sin set into motion.
