The fall of Adam brought sin and death into the world, resulting in the total depravity of all humanity.
Humanity's fall in the garden of Eden has profound implications for every person born thereafter. Romans 5:12 states that sin entered the world through one man, Adam, and death through sin, leading to condemnation for all. This illustrates the principle of representation; just as Adam's sin affected all, so too does Christ's obedience provide righteousness to those who believe. The fall not only exposes our inherited sinful nature but also underscores our need for redemption through Jesus Christ, who offers salvation and the possibility of new life to all who are united with Him. Understanding the depth of our problem due to the fall deepens our appreciation for the grace provided in Christ.
