- Sin Nature: The term “sin nature” refers to the inherent tendency or inclination toward sin that all human beings possess as a result of the Fall of Adam and Eve. It is viewed as a fundamental aspect of the human condition, impacting one’s thoughts, desires, and actions.
- Origin: The concept originates from the Biblical account of the Fall in Genesis 3. Adam and Eve’s disobedience introduced sin into the world, affecting not only them but all their descendants. This original sin is believed to have corrupted human nature, leading to the inherent tendency toward sinfulness (Romans 5:12).
