Therefore, as sin entered the world for a man, and death for sin, so too did death pass to all men for all that they sinned (Romans 5:12).
If we reject the attribution of Adam’s sin to all who are there, we must also reject the attribution of Christ’s righteousness to all who are there, because if, by one’s offense, many have died, much more the grace and gift of God. by grace, which is of a man, Jesus Christ, abounded over several?(Romans 5:15).
- God is the Creator of heaven and earth.
- Of all things visible and invisible; nothing that exists has its origin in itself nor does it continue to exist because of sufficiency itself; everything and all that exist derives its entire existence from God.
- Being completely subordinate to God.
- In turn.
- Derives its existence from nothing or anyone above him or before him and is therefore completely self-sufficient in his being.
- That’s why God reveals his name as: “AM I WHAT I AM?”(Exodus 3.
- 14).
- ).
- God and only God IS truly.
- Because he is eternal and immutable.
- Has no beginning or end.
- But he himself is the beginning and end of all that exists.
Therefore, what things are, reality as it is, including the concept of justice, is established by God, necessarily exists before man, being the man subjected to it and therefore totally powerless to determine the way. It must be, but only responsible for passive submission. Then Paul asked, “O man, who are you, that you may answer god?”Perhaps the trained thing will tell the person who trained her: Why did you do this to me?(Romans 9. 20) Man Who responds to God assumes that above God there is a reason, a logic, a law for which God must satisfaction, for which God is responsible. The man who responds to God is the man who wants to dethrone him so that he can enthus his own judgment, his own opinion. So it’s simply because that’s how God says it’s right. And there is no reason, no logic, no human law to rationally establish as unjust what God says is right.

The Bible teaches that even if we had never sinned, we would never have done anything wrong, we would still be considered sinners before God. This is the biblical doctrine of original sin.
When you hear about the original sin, the reference is to Adam’s sin and that God held us accountable for Adam’s first sin. We are as guilty as he is of this first disobedience, so guilty that we have been punished as he is. crimes and sins, suffering the pain god announced at first (Genesis 2:17).
You will find this doctrine of original sin in Romans 5:12. There, we are reminded that when Adam sinned, death fell upon the entire human race. Note that this verse does not say that death will come when all have sinned, but has already come to all, for all have sinned; at some point in the past, they all sinned, even those who have not yet been born, and therefore were born dead in wickedness and sin; when they all sinned, so that all may be born dead in sin?The only possible answer, the answer in Romans 5:12, is that they all sinned in Adam.
The original sin has two parts. First, there is the fact that all have sinned in Adam and are convicted of their sin. Is this often called original guilt? And it reaches every man because Adam represented all men before God. Second, as they are already guilty, even before they are born, all men also come into the world suffering the punishment of sin, which is eternal death. were born dead in faults and sins (Ephesians 2:1). This part of the original sin – the punishment inflicted on them at birth – is called “original contamination” or “depravity. “
Most people do not like this teaching because it seems so unfair to them, but that is not unfair at all. In many other areas of our lives, we accept responsibility for the actions of others without considering them unfair. When our political leaders make laws, we are responsible for those laws. Parents are responsible in many cases for the behavior of their children. simply part of human life. But even in salvation, it is true, we do not complain and believe that it is unfair for Christ to accept responsibility for us and all our sins as our Savior; however, our salvation passes through him in the same way that sin came through Adam. .
Original sin is a very important doctrine of the Bible, and it is of paramount personal importance; It teaches us how completely lost we are as sinners and shows us that there is no possibility of salvation except in Jesus Christ. doctrine that even if we do not commit any sin, God will always be angry with us and punish us eternally. This leaves us nowhere to flee, but to the cross of Christ in search of help and salvation.
Do you know that you were born with the original sin?Do you know that the only cure for this is the work of Jesus Christ?That is why the Bible calls us to believe in him, and only in him, for salvation.
