Adam's sin introduced sin and death into the world (Genesis 3), affecting all humanity. In contrast, the "gift" refers to the grace and righteousness offered through Jesus (<a href="/romans/5-15.htm">Romans 5:15</a>). This highlights the superiority and abundance of God's grace over the effects of sin. Theologically, this sets up the doctrine of original sin versus the redemptive work of Christ.The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, Adam's single act of disobedience (eating the forbidden fruit) resulted in judgment and condemnation for all humanity (<a href="/genesis/2-17.htm">Genesis 2:17, 3</a>:6-19). This reflects the biblical principle that sin leads to death and separation from God (<a href="/romans/6-23.htm">Romans 6:23</a>). The historical context of Adam's sin is foundational for understanding the need for redemption. Theologically, this underscores the seriousness of sin and its universal impact.but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification. Despite the multitude of sins committed by humanity, the gift of grace through Jesus Christ brings justification (<a href="/romans/3-24.htm">Romans 3:24</a>). Justification is a legal term signifying being declared righteous before God. This reflects the abundant mercy and grace of God, who provides a way for reconciliation despite repeated human failures. Theologically, this emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ's atonement and the transformative power of grace. This connects to prophecies of a coming Redeemer (Isaiah 53) and the fulfillment of the law through Christ (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/a/adam.htm">Adam</a> The first man created by God, whose sin brought condemnation to all humanity.
