If by "original sin", you are referring to the Genesis account relating the rebellion of our first parents Adam and Eve, the consequences were many. They affected not only our minds and bodies but more importantly our relationship with our Creator.

Since no children were born to this first couple until after their sin, any consequent offspring would now inherit the imperfection their parents now possessed. Adam and his wife lost the opportunity to live a life free from sickness, aging and eventually death.

This would become the legacy of their children as well including us. Romans 5:12 makes this point quite clear, it says: "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned."

Had our loving Maker Jehovah, not stepped in to help us out, we would have been doomed to a future, devoid of the hope of things ever changing in our favor. Thankfully our heavenly Father provided a means by which the human family could become reconciled to him again, if they so chose.

John 3:16 reveals what he did, it says: "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".

By so doing, he at great cost to himself, provided his beloved Son as a ransom for sinful mankind. His perfect life, if willingly sacrificed, would cancel out the sin introduced by Adam and Eve. How? A perfect life in exchange for the perfect life our first parents forfeited for themselves and all future humans.
