Because of the Fall of Adam and Eve, all people live in a
fallen condition, separated from God and subject to physical
death. However, we are not condemned by what many call
the “original sin.” In other words, we are not accountable for
Adam’s transgression in the Garden of Eden. The Prophet
Joseph Smith said, “We believe that men will be punished for
their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression” (Articles of
Faith 1:2).
Through the Atonement, the Savior paid the price for the
transgression in the Garden of Eden (see Moses 6:53). He has
given us the assurance of resurrection and the promise that,
based on our faithfulness, we can return to dwell in the presence
of our Heavenly Father forever.
