164. How did we come to be lost and condemned?
The devil led Adam and Eve into rebellion by tempting them to doubt and to desire to become like God. We all have inherited their desire to sin and the resulting punishment.
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
Read Genesis 3. Note how doubt about God's Word leads to the denial of God's Word, which leads to disbelief, which leads to disobedience, which results in death.
