The Bible teaches that in Adam all die due to his disobedience, leading to spiritual death for all humanity.
The fall of Adam, as described in Genesis 3, is critical to understanding the human condition. Adam was created in a state of perfection, but he willfully disobeyed God, which resulted in spiritual death for himself and for all of humanity, as Paul explains in Romans 5. This fall brought separation from God, as all humanity is considered to have sinned in Adam, leading to total depravity and a corrupt nature. Therefore, understanding the gravity of Adam's sin is foundational for comprehending the entirety of salvation.
