Question 20

Did all mankind fall in Adam's first transgression?

Scripture

  1. 1 Corinthians 15:21–22 [1]
    For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. (ESV)
  2. Romans 5:12 [1]
    Death in Adam, Life in Christ Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— (ESV)
  3. Romans 5:18–19 [1]
    Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. (ESV)
