What makes righteousness lost in humanity according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness is considered lost in humanity because of Adam's sin, which affected all people.

The concept of righteousness lost is rooted in the biblical teaching that Adam's sin brought death and separation from God to all humankind. Romans 5:12 states that sin entered the world through Adam, and as a result, all are counted as guilty. Scriptures such as Ecclesiastes 7:20 and Isaiah 64:6 confirm that there is none righteous, highlighting the universal state of sin affecting every person. This foundational understanding helps illustrate the need for a mediator who can restore the righteousness that was lost, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
