Therefore, just as
sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in
this way death came to all people, because all sinned... Romans 5:12
In the beginning, one man sinned, and so sin entered the
world. Because of that, all men who were born after him sinned also.
And with sin came death. Death is the punishment for sin; before
sin came into the world, there was no death. But now, death is
everywhere, because sin is everywhere.
But there is hope!
For
just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made
sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will
be made righteous. Romans 5:19
The Bible says that just through the sin of one man,
many were made sinners, so then by the obedience of one man, many can
be made righteous. Jesus came to earth and lived his life in
perfection; not one time did he sin. There was no reason for him to
die—death is the punishment of sin, and Jesus had no sin. But he
took on our punishment, so that by believing in him we could
take on his righteousness and be made right with God.
