We are all in the image of Adam <ref>Genesis 5:2, Hosea 6:7</ref>, and thus we also are fallen. Sin is always with us, as the [[Apostle Paul]] wrote. Only [[Jesus Christ]] can reverse the effects of the Fall:

{{Bible quote|We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it... What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! |book=Romans|chap=7|verses=15-25}}
