The Last Adam

Two men, two trees, two destinies for the human race.

1. 1

   The first Adam, in God's image

   Genesis 1:27

   So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

   Humanity made to represent God.
2. 2

   The fall

   Genesis 3:6

   When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.

   Adam's disobedience brings sin and death.
3. 3

   One man's obedience

   Romans 5:19

   For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

   "By the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous."
4. 4

   In Christ all made alive

   1 Corinthians 15:22

   For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

   "As in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive."
5. 5

   A life-giving spirit

   1 Corinthians 15:45

   So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

   "The last Adam became a life-giving spirit."
