He gave them a righteous law that would have led to life if they had kept it but threatened death if they broke it.<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0 Yet they did not remain for long in this position of honor. Satan used the craftiness of the serpent to seduce Eve, who then seduced Adam. Adam acted without any outside compulsion and deliberately transgressed the law of their creation and the command given to them by eating the forbidden fruit.<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0God was pleased, in keeping with his wise and holy counsel, to permit this act, because he had purposed to direct it for his own glory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Lato; color: #525252;\"><sup>1<\/sup>Genesis 2:16, 17.\u00a0<sup>2<\/sup>Genesis 3:12, 13; 2 Corinthians 11:3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lato; font-size: 18px; color: #525252;\">2. By this sin our first parents fell from their original righteousness and communion with God. We fell in them, and through this, death came upon all.<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0 All became dead in sin<sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0and completely defiled in all the capabilities and parts of soul and body.<sup>5<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Lato; color: #525252;\"><sup>3<\/sup>Romans 3:23.\u00a0<sup>4<\/sup>Romans 5:12ff.\u00a0<sup>5<\/sup>Titus 1:15; Genesis 6:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:10\u201319.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Lato; color: #525252;\">3. By God\u2019s appointment, they were the root and the representatives of the whole human race. Because of this, the guilt of their sin was accounted, and their corrupt nature passed on, to all their offspring who descended from them by ordinary procreation.<sup>6<\/sup>\u00a0 Their descendants are now conceived in sin<sup>7<\/sup>\u00a0and are by nature children of wrath,<sup>8<\/sup>\u00a0the servants of sin, and partakers of death<sup>9<\/sup>\u00a0and all other miseries\u2014spiritual, temporal, and eternal\u2014unless the Lord Jesus sets them free.<sup>10<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Lato; color: #525252;\"><sup>6<\/sup>Romans 5:12\u201319; 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22, 45, 49.\u00a0<sup>7<\/sup>Psalms 51:5; Job 14:4.\u00a0<sup>8<\/sup>Ephesians 2:3.\u00a0<sup>9<\/sup>Romans 6:20; 5:12.\u00a0<sup>10<\/sup>Hebrews 2:14, 15; 1 Thessalonians 1:10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lato; font-size: 18px; color: #525252;\">4. All actual transgressions arise from this first corruption.<sup>11<\/sup>\u00a0 By it we are thoroughly biased against, and disabled and antagonistic toward all that is good, and we are completely inclined toward all that is evil.<sup>12<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Lato; color: #525252;\"><sup>11<\/sup>James 1:14, 15; Matthew 15:19.\u00a0<sup>12<\/sup>Romans 8:7; Colossians 1:21.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Lato; color: #525252;\">5.
