Fall
The Bible uses the term ‘The Fall’ to describe the loss of humanity's original innocence and happiness resulting from Adam and Eve's eating of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the fruit they were commanded not to, this broke down Adams personal and intimate relationship with God and separated humanity from God. Mankind disobeying God and choosing his own path is a pattern that has been repeated ever since. This is what the Bible says,You know the story of how Adam landed us in the dilemma we're in--first sin, then death, and no one exempt from either sin or death. That sin disturbed relations with God in everything and everyone, but the extent of the disturbance was not clear until God spelled it out in detail to Moses. So death, this huge abyss separating us from God, dominated the landscape from Adam to Moses. Even those who didn't sin precisely as Adam did by disobeying a specific command of God still had to experience this termination of life, this separation from God. But Adam, who got us into this, also points ahead to the One who will get us out of it. (Romans 5:12-14)
The one who will get us out of this is Jesus. Who defeated death on the cross and therefore bridged the gap our wrongdoings have created between God and us.
