In Adam’s Fall We Sinned All

The sermon unfolds a theological narrative centered on humanity's fall and redemption, tracing the consequences of Adam's disobedience and the redemptive grace of Christ as the second Adam. It begins by affirming that humans were originally created in God's image—marked by true righteousness, holiness, and the capacity to know, love, and dwell with God in intimate communion, reflecting the ultimate purpose of creation. This pristine state was shattered by Adam's voluntary sin, which introduced death and corruption into the world, rendering all humanity guilty and depraved by nature, not merely by individual acts. The sermon emphasizes that this fallen condition renders every human faculty—mind, will, and affections—so corrupted that no one can seek God apart from divine grace, underscoring the biblical reality of total depravity not as moral extremity but as spiritual death. Yet the message pivots to the gospel's triumph: just as one man's trespass brought condemnation, so one act of Christ's obedience brings justification and eternal life, with grace abounding all the more where sin increased, culminating in the promise of eternal communion with God in the new creation.
