What are the consequences of the Fall according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The consequences of the Fall include spiritual death, physical death, and a corrupted human nature, affecting all of humanity.

The consequences of the Fall are profound and multifaceted. Biblically, they encompass spiritual death, which implies separation from God, and physical death that eventually affects all living beings. Genesis 3 details the specific curses that befall Adam and Eve, including toil, pain, and ultimately returning to dust. Additionally, the Fall introduces a sinful nature that leads all humanity towards wrongdoing, confirming the reality of original sin. The universality of these consequences illustrates our inherent need for divine grace and regeneration in Christ, who addresses each aspect of the brokenness resulting from the Fall.
Scripture References: Genesis 3:16-19, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:1-3
