The Last Adam

WEBKJVBSBESVNKJVNASBNLT

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

The first Adam is made in God's image and falls, plunging humanity into sin and death. The last Adam — Jesus — obeys where Adam failed, and by his resurrection becomes a life-giving spirit. As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
  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 that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

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

    One man's obedience

    Romans 5:19

    For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One 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 also 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 also it is written: “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” The last Adam was a life-giving spirit.

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