What does the Bible say about imputation of sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that sin is imputed to humanity through Adam's transgression, resulting in death passing upon all men (Romans 5:12).

The concept of imputation in the Bible indicates that sin is accounted to individuals based on their representative head, Adam. Romans 5:12 states, 'For as 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 means everyone was represented in Adam when he disobeyed God, and thus, his sin was imputed to all of humanity, resulting in the condemnation that is inherited from our federal head.
