Bible Text:
Psalm 51:5 KJV
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Original Sin:
Genesis 3:6 KJV
And when the
woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant
to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with
her; and he did eat.
Romans 5:12-21 NLT (The Apostle Paul compares Adam and
Christ.)
12 When Adam
sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death
spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
13 Yes, people
sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin
because there was not yet any law to break.
14 Still,
everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even
those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam
did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to
come.
15 But there is
a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s Gracious Gift.
For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even
greater is God’s wonderful grace and His Gift Of Forgiveness to
many through this other Man, Jesus Christ.
16 And the
result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of
that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s
free Gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are
guilty of many sins.
17 For the sin
of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even
greater is God’s wonderful grace and His Gift Of Righteousness, for
all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through
this one Man, Jesus Christ.
18 Yes, Adam’s
one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of
righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for
everyone.
19 Because one
person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other
Person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.
20 God’s law
was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as
people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more
abundant.
21 So just as
sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s
wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and
resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Psalm 51,
was David's confession of murder and adultery. But in this verse (5)
he is saying that even before he was born, he was under the curse of
sin. This is called “original sin.”
Isaiah 64:6 KJV
But we are all as an unclean thing,
and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as
a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Matthew 15:19
KJV
For out of the
heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications,
thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
James 4:1 KJV
From whence
come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your
lusts that war in your members?
Romans 3:23 KJV
For all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God;
I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that I have set before you Life and death,
Blessing and cursing: therefore choose Life, that both thou and thy
seed may live:
I Corinthians
15:22 KJV
For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.
John 3:14-18 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be
saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.
John 8:24 KJV
I said therefore unto you, that ye
shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall
die in your sins.
