What does the Bible say about Adam's sin and its impact on humanity?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Adam's sin brought death upon all men, as all sinned in him (Romans 5:12).

According to Romans 5:12, through one man, Adam, sin entered the world, resulting in death, and thus death passed upon all men because all have sinned. This teaches us the concept of federal headship, where Adam acts as the representative for humanity. When he sinned, all mankind sinned in him. Therefore, we are born with a sinful nature, condemned by Adam's transgression. This fundamental teaching underscores the necessity of redemption through Christ, who acts as the second Adam.
