What does the Bible say about man's fall and sinfulness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that through Adam's sin, all have inherited a fallen nature, making every heart deceitful and wicked (Romans 5:12).

The concept of the fall is foundational in Reformed theology, illustrating how sin entered the world through one man, Adam, and spread to all humanity. Romans 5:12 states, 'Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.' This inherited sinfulness is described in Genesis 6:5, highlighting that every imagination of man’s heart is only evil continually, which underscores the depth of human depravity. In Jeremiah 17:9, God further reveals the condition of the human heart, declaring it 'deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.' Thus, we are all guilty before God due to our fallen nature and need for cleansing.
