Romans 5, speaks of sin. What is the sin in which Paul is talking about? It is the sin of unbelief. Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness (Romans 4). Of course, the counting refers not to Abraham's faith but to the object. To the promises of God in Christ. Adam was a man, the proto man, the first man, who stumbled in unbelief. This is the sin by which all men are now born with. The sin of not believing God. But we are saved by the belief of Christ alone. For Christ believed God. By his knowledge we are saved as Isaiah says. It is because we have been justified, by faith we have peace with God - Romans 5:1.
And as it is said, God concludes all in unbelief (11:32). Who believes the report except him who the arm of the Lord has been revealed(John 12:38).
