What does the Bible say about the effects of sin in the world?

The Bible clearly illustrates that sin brought a curse upon the world, leading to suffering and sorrow. In Genesis, God told Adam and Eve that because of their disobedience, they would experience sorrow and toil (Genesis 3:17-19). The pain and suffering we witness today, whether it be physical ailments or emotional distress, are ultimately traced back to the fall of humanity and the entrance of sin. This reality highlights the destructive nature of sin and serves as a reminder of our need for redemption.
