The Fall of Man

We believe that man was created in a state of innocence as a free moral agent under the law of his Maker; but by voluntary transgression Adam fell from his sinless and happy state, as a result of which all men are totally depraved (excluding the will), are partakers of Adam's fallen nature, and are sinners by nature and by conduct; and therefore, are under just condemnation without defense of excuse. Genesis 2:17; 3:1-6; Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:10-19; 5:12,19; Ezra 7:13.
