While God created us in a perfect world and gave us everything we could possibly desire, Adam and Eve chose to go on their own way and reject God’s purpose for them. But God planned from the beginning to send a second Adam, his only Son, who would not only fulfill God’s purposes for mankind, but pay for the sins of all who would ever trust in him. He truly has done marvelous things!
“Oh sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The LORD has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations” (Psalm 98:1–2, ESV).

Q 26 - How did Adam’s sin affect all humanity?
A 26 - Since God established Adam as the representative head of the human race, his sin was imputed to all his descendants. Therefore, Adam’s sin brings guilt, corruption, condemnation, and death to all humanity.
“And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.” (Colossians 2:13–15)
