What does the Bible say about Adam's sin and death?

Answered in 1 source

Adam's sin brought death to all humanity, as stated in Romans 5:12, 'for that all have sinned.'

The Bible teaches that through Adam's disobedience, sin entered the world, leading to death for all men. In Romans 5:12, it is written that 'by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.' This death is not just physical, but also spiritual and eternal, illustrating the seriousness of Adam's transgression. His actions represent the headship under which all humanity exists, showing a universal consequence due to his fall. Consequently, we find ourselves born in sin, alienated from God, subject to both physical death and spiritual separation.
