Original sin is the ruin that came from Adam to us.
Sin came into the world through one man,
and death through sin,
and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
In Adam all die.
Original sin is the church’s name for the fall’s reach. Sin came into the world through one man, Adam, and death through sin. Death spread to all because all sinned. In Adam all die. David says he was brought forth in iniquity. Paul sets Adam and Christ as the two heads. One trespass brought condemnation. One act of righteousness brings justification. The fall of man is the event. Original sin is what that event left in the race.
- This is not only the bad example of Adam. Death reigned from Adam to Moses even over those who did not sin in the likeness of his trespass.
- Total depravity is the reach of this ruin in every part. Original sin is the source in Adam.
- The church does not heal this by moral effort. The second man is Christ. In Christ all are made alive.
One man. Sin and death. All die in Adam. The answer is not a better Adam. It is Christ.
Sin came into the world through one man.
Death spread to all men because all sinned.
In Adam all die.
In Christ shall all be made alive.
