“For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.” - Romans 5 : 19
Mankind became sinful through Adam. But, through Christ, we are made righteous. So when you were born into Adam you were born into sin. You had nothing to do with the consequences of what Adam did. You had no choice, you were born into it. You didn’t need to have faith to be a sinner, you were born a sinner not because you sinned but because Adam sinned. You inherited Adam's sin and all its consequences.
Likewise, it was exactly the same when you were re-born into Christ. You were made righteous. You are imputed with the gift of righteousness. It was not your righteous behaviour. It was given to you as a free gift. You were made righteous. You received the grace of God in Christ and you inherited God's riches through Christ’s sacrifice. This means you are now not in Adam but In Christ and therefore as Christ is so now, are you! That is, every blessing in the heavenly realms is now yours In Christ based entirely on grace.
