How do we know the doctrine of imputed sin is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of imputed sin is supported by scripture, particularly in Romans 5, where Adam's sin brings condemnation to all.

The truth of imputed sin is firmly established in Romans 5:18, which states, 'Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.' This verse illustrates the representation of humanity by Adam, whose act of disobedience resulted in death for all. Additionally, the concept is reinforced by the understanding that just as sin and death spread through Adam, life and justification come through Christ, the last Adam. Thus, imputation plays a crucial role in understanding the Christian doctrine of salvation, emphasizing the need for Christ's atoning sacrifice as the remedy for the sin inherited from Adam.
