Original sin refers to both the sinful act committed by Adam and Eve as well as the resulting sinful state or condition of humanity. It originated with the historical first sin committed by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This originating sin resulted in a sinful condition called "concupiscence" - a human attraction to sin - that affects all of humanity. As a result of original sin, we are born into a situation of sinfulness that makes it difficult to do good. Original sin continues to exist today, but it is washed away during baptism, though we still need to confess our sins.
