Why do we sin? The Bible flips the common idea: We don't become sinners by sinning — we sin because we are already sinners! In this Bible study, we unpack the doctrine of original sin through Genesis 3, Romans 5:12, 1 Corinthians 15:22, and more. Key truths covered: We are sinners by BIRTH (Psalm 51:5; 58:3), by NATURE (Jeremiah 17:9), by CHOICE (John 3:19), and by DEED (James 4:17) No amount of "moral goodness" or avoiding "big sins" changes our fallen state — death passed to all because all have sinned The attributes of temptation (Genesis 3 vs. 1 John 2:16 vs. Christ's temptation in Luke 4): lust of the flesh (good for food), lust of the eyes (pleasant to the eyes), pride of life (desired to make one wise) — earthly, sensual, devilish (James 3:15) Eve's response vs. Christ's victorious response: Rely on the Word of God to overcome (1 John 2:14) Immediate effects of sin: Shame replaces innocence (hiding, self-covering with fig leaves — our "filthy rags" of righteousness, Isaiah 64:6), broken fellowship with God (hiding from His presence), blame-shifting instead of confession God provided the first covering through animal sacrifice (pointing to the robe of righteousness in Christ, Isaiah 61:10) — a foreshadowing of the gospel! This message challenges the "I'm a good person" mindset and points us to our desperate need for a Savior. Sin entered through one man (Adam), but life comes through one Man (Christ)! #Genesis3 #Romans5 #TemptationOfChrist #BibleStudy #FallenNature #GospelTruth #SinAndSalvation
