ORIGINAL SIN AND PERSONAL SINUpdated at Aug 21, 2025, 11:18
The concept of original & personal sinfrom the moment Adam fell, some repercussions occurred which set a common group for all mankind. there are some truths that have risen as the outcome of this incident, and you must understand.they are that:1. All the people problems of mankind are rooted inthe rebellion and the fall of Adam, not in fall of Satan.2. All the hold and power that Satan has over mankind come from the fall of Adam3. All our individual sins and misbehaviours come from the fall of Adams.you must also know that all sickness, poverty, pains, struggles, curses and failures ( anything that is contrary to Genesis 1:31) come from the fall of Adam.The words 'very good in Genesis 1:31 is not the same as good that a teacher puts on a student result, that word very good represents something that is good in itself good in appearance and good in function but They are not beautiful in appearance and some things are good in function but not good in themselves. some people are like that - they are not good naturally but good on purpose. I told someone years ago that he is a kind man on purpose. he is not kind naturally, but when he is looking for something, he would be kind to get what he is looking for . you probably know people like that and you may be like that too..Anything different from being very good came from the fall of Adam. it was from the fall of Adam that the first murder came .we know the devil is the murderer but if Adam did not fall, it would not have happened. the fall of Adam is what is known as the original sin. when the Bible says the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins , it is talking about two dimensions o f sin , the original sin and every other sin that comes from it , the original sin could only be committed by one person, and it was carried out by Adam. The original sin is what made every human being a sinner. whether you did something wrong or not,, the bottom line is this: every man became a sinner because of the original sin.If. Adam and Eve had given birth to a son before they sinned , the son would not have been part of the original sin, but they did not. It means, everyone that came from them is a sinner by nature which is the outcome of the original sin.The other 'sin' is what I call personal sin(or individual sins)PERSONAL SIN OR INDIVIDUAL SIN:That is , your own sin and it's consequence is different from that of original sin, the original sin made everyone who came from Adam to become a sinner; it gave them the nature of sin. And that nature of sin is what moves everybody to commit personal sins.Too many people today are looking for personal victories without having victory over the original sin and this is one reason we have contradictions in Christianity. Original sin is like a tree that is planted with roots in the soil, while personal sin is like the branches of that tree. dealing with the branches will not stop the problem; except you uproot that tree, the other problems cannot be taken care of , All problem s and the power Satan wields are as a result of the original sin and it is important that you settle this within your soul and in your mind.You can always have victory in every area of your area of your life because the original sin has been dealt with by Jesus Christ.If personal sin is dealt with without the original sin, there will be occasional victories that will lead to other problems and this is what happened In the Old testament. God gave them temporary victories because the original sin was not dealt with. The reason Jesus came , first and foremost was to remove the consequences, the effect and the power of original sin.If a man was born and he never committed personal sin, the original sin will still send him to help, therefore, it is not your personal sin that makes you a sinner, but the original sin. For example, it would be wrong for someone to tell you that you are human being because you usually take breakfast. you eat because you're hungry and rhe appetite is part of human nature. Eating is a human activity but it is not what makes you a human being.Sometimes, there are people who assume that once they are doing well , they are alright; but nobody was born alright. Everybody was born a sinner because of the original sin. Everybody was born into this world subject to Satan's power and influence because of the original sin. If you never added your personal sin to the original sin, the original sin will still take you to hell. That is why it is wrong for a believer to tell a sinner not sin because even if he stops, he still won't get born again. There are people who are more morally upright then many believers. Sometimes you meet traditional priests and Muslims who basically more honest than.Some Christian, and they assume that they are alright. if a man has his account of the original sin wiped out but commits personal sin, what is the difference between him and another man whose original sin........
