Sin came into the world when the serpent twisted and questioned God’s words, causing the goodness of God to be doubted.
The eating of the fruit was a sin of commission that brought sin into the world. A sin of omission was also committed when Adam let Eve eat the fruit.
Sin brought guilt, shame, fear, blame, curses, enmity, pain, death and separation from God and the original perfect place he created.
