Study Notes
The Origin of Sin
- Sin originated from within Cain, and no external force prompted him to commit sin, but rather his own corrupt nature.
- This inherent sinful nature has been passed down through all generations.
The Meaning of "World"
- The word "world" in scripture refers to people, not the physical world (e.g., Asia, Europe, Africa).
- When scripture says "God so loved the world," it means God loves the people.
The Consequences of Adam's Sin
- Through Adam, sin entered the world, and subsequently, death followed.
- Adam's sin was imputed to all humanity.
The Redemption of Christ
- Just as Adam's sin affected all, Christ's gift of salvation has redeemed all.
- The grace of God is greater, and we can take comfort in knowing that God's gift not only redeemed us from original sin but also gave us more than what we lost through Adam's error.
The Role of Christ as the Second Adam
- Christ is the representative for all humanity, above all generations and regions.
- He witnessed humanity from the start to the end, making Him the only one capable of representing all humanity.

- Christ took flesh from St. Mary, becoming incarnate.
- While in the flesh, He undertook the act of salvation, carrying our sins, dying, and resurrecting from the dead.
Contrasting Adam and Christ
