What does the Bible say about our representation in Adam?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all humanity fell in Adam as our representative, resulting in sin and death for all.

The Bible explains that Adam acted as a representative for all mankind; when he sinned, humanity fell with him. This concept is clearly presented in Romans 5, where it states that by Adam's disobedience, many were made sinners. Therefore, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, inheriting a sinful nature from Adam's original sin. This doctrine of representation underlines the gravity of sin's impact on humanity, emphasizing that we are counted guilty as a result of Adam's sin and our own actual transgressions.
