sin imputedImputation means to reckon or to charge to one's account. There are various views on imputed sin, but the most common is that all have sinned (Rom 5:12) because sin has come through Adam and Eve's disobedience to God when they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This sin introduced death into their world; thus the death penalty came upon all who are born. In Adam, all humanity was present at that time. Because of one, sin entered the world; because of One (Jesus Christ and His death on the cross) we can, through faith, have forgiveness for our sins.
sin inheritedThis teaching deals with how we ended up with a sin nature, through the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Because they were the first two parents, from them all mankind has inherited a sin nature. The soul of man is born in corruption and sin.
sin natureMan is born with a sin nature he does not have to do anything to become a sinner; he or she is a sinner from the moment of conception. We have become sinners because of Adam's and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Because we all come from these first parents, we too carry their sin nature in our lives. This curse can be broken only by believing and receiving Jesus Christ personally into one's life.
sin, personalBecause of our sin nature and a spirit of disobedience that dwells within our lives, man battles between doing the will of God and his own personal will. We personally sin when we turn our backs on God and follow after the lawlessness and corruption of this world. In various places throughout the Bible, lists of personally committed sins are enumerated. (See Col 3:5-11)
