What Is Original Sin?

‘The term “original sin” doesn’t refer to the first sin, committed by Adam, but to the result of that first sin. The Bible asserts not only that we sin a lot but that we’re sinful by nature. Therefore, writes Richard Phillips, “We have an inborn tendency to commit sin.”

As Paul wrote, “Sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned” (Rom. 5:12). All people, both in Paul’s day and ours, have sinned in the past. When did we sin? When Adam sinned. In his first sin, Adam represented his descendants with devastating results.’
