THE FIRST ADAM LOST ALL: THE SECOND ADAM RECOVERED ALL may 1

REFERENCE: 1 Corinthians 15: 45 & 47                        Romans 5: 19

So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”, the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 1 Cor. 15:45.   The first man was dust of the earth, the second from heaven. 1 Cor. 15:47.

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. Rom 4:19

COMMENT:

The first Adam is the natural man created by God from the dust of the earth and God breathed in the body of dust and he became a living soul. The second Adam unlike the first one, was not created. He came from heaven and like God the Father,  he had no beginning. His origin had nothing to do with dust although he was born of a human woman named Mary, who was a virgin. She became pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The second Adam was completely different from all other human beings hence his ability to come to earth without the first Adam’s DNA and therefore had no sin.

The first Adam in exercising his freedom of choice given by God; fell into the trap of Satan. He ate the forbidden fruit knowingly and willingly and dire consequences followed.  He lost his ownership and dominion of the earth and all other abilities given by God. He actually transferred all what he had received from God to Satan and instead of becoming a friend; he became a slave and an enemy.

 Having won the first Adam to his side, Satan must have included him in the list of those heading to eternal fire. God having loved the world had other plans to rescue this first Adam. He prepared another Adam to pay the price of death and therefore saved him. God’s rescue plan worked very well and it is still working even today.

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ suffered humiliation and physical torture. He died on the cross on a Friday and was buried.  As he had said, he rose again on Sunday and was seen by many for 40 days before he departed and went back to heaven. While on earth, following the resurrection, he had supernatural abilities.

 What the first Adam lost in the hands of Satan, the second Adam snatched and defeated the enemy. Nobody now needs to die and proceed to hell because of whatever sin, Jesus paid for all. Redemption is ours for the asking. ASK AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN!!

PRAYER: Thanks Jehovah! Your mercies are everywhere every day.
