BONUS CHART OF THE TWO “ADAMS”
Adam is a “figure” or TYPE of Him that was to come, namely Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:14). Adam is a type of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 15:45 Jesus Christ is called “Adam” (“the last Adam”) and Christ is also called “the second man” in contrast to the first man, Adam (1 Cor. 15:47). As we compare these two men there are both similarities and differences:
|
ADAM
The first man Adam (1 Cor.15:45) |
JESUS CHRISTThe last Adam (1 Cor.15:45) |
“Was made a living soul” (1 Cor.15:45)
|
“Was made a quickening spirit” (1 Cor.15:45)
|
“Natural” (1 Cor.15:46) |
“Spiritual” (1 Cor.15:46) |
ORIGIN–”of the earth” (1 Cor.15:47) |
ORIGIN–”from heaven” (1 Cor.15:47)
|
Men reflect Adam (Cor.15:49 and see Gen. 5:3). |
Saved men can and shall reflect Christ(1 Cor.15:49 and see Col. 3:10; Eph.4:24;Rom.8:29; 2 Cor.3:18; 1 John 3:2; etc.). |
“Dead in Adam” (1 Cor.15:22) |
“Alive in Christ” (1 Cor.15:22) |
Adam is the Head of the Old Creation. |
Jesus Christ is the Head of theNew Creation (2 Cor.5:17; Eph.2:10). |
Adam was a representative man (Romans 5), and he acted on behalf of the whole human race. |
Christ was a representative man (Romans 5),and He acted on behalf of the whole human race. |
Adam performed one act which had tremendous consequences. |
Christ performed one act which had even
greater consequences.
|
Adam’s act was a sinful act (Rom.5:12, 15,16,17,18). |
Christ‘s act was a righteous act(Rom.5:18–”the righteous act”–see NASB). |
Adam’s act was an act of disobedience, in eating the forbidden fruit (Rom.5:19; and see Genesis 2:17; 3:6). |
Christ’s act was an act of obedience,in dying on the cross(Romans 5:19 and see Phil.2:8). |
Here is what Adam’s one act produced:
DEATH ( Rom.5:12,14,15)
|
Here is what Christ’s one act produced:
LIFE (Rom.5:17,18,21)
