John Gill expounds on the doctrine of the imputation of Adam's sin to all humanity, emphasizing that through Adam's disobedience, all his descendants are made sinners. He clarifies that this imputation is not based on imitation or personal sin but is a judicial act where Adam's guilt is legally attributed to his posterity. Gill argues that this concept is foundational to understanding both the nature of sin and the necessity of Christ's righteousness for salvation. He highlights that while Adam's sin brought death and condemnation, Christ's obedience offers justification and life to many. The sermon ultimately underscores the significance of federal headship in the relationship between Adam and humanity.
