What is the relationship between Adam's sin and human nature?

Answered in 1 source

Adam's sin resulted in the fall, affecting all humanity and imparting a sinful nature to every person born after him.

The concept of original sin posits that when Adam fell, he represented all of humanity. Romans 5:12 tells us that through one man, sin entered the world, and death followed, thus every person born thereafter inherits this sinful nature. Because of Adam's disobedience, every individual is born not only as a sinner but with a propensity to sin, leading to a state of total depravity. This foundational aspect of human nature highlights our collective need for redemption through Christ, who came to save sinners and remedy the consequences of the fall.
