What does the Bible say about the Fall of man?

Answered in 49 sources

The Fall of man, as described in Genesis 3, indicates that through Adam's disobedience, sin entered the world, resulting in a broken relationship with God and the universality of death.

According to the Bible, particularly in Genesis 3, the Fall of man refers to the event when Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This act of disobedience brought sin into the world, severing humanity's relationship with God. As a result, sin has spread to all mankind, leading to spiritual separation from God and the eventual physical death that every person experiences. The significance of the Fall is foundational in understanding the need for a Savior, as it illustrates humanity’s lost condition and the necessity of regeneration through Christ.
