Christ The Second Adam
I Corinthians 15:45-49 speaks of Jesus Christ as the second Adam. The first Adam fell from grace and his spirit became dead towards God and he was separated from God’s presence. As a result of his disobedience, we who are sons of Adam are born in sin and under the curse of futility (Psalm 51:5). God brought Jesus forth as He did Adam — sinless and with His spirit alive to God. Jesus lived in a face-to-face relationship with the Father, a relationship in which He was able to trust the Father’s love for Him and receive discipline as a son. God’s promise to us is this: Jesus is the firstborn of many brethren, and just as we have borne the image of the earthy we shall also bear the image of the heavenly (I Corinthians 15:49). We are predestined to have a relationship with the Father that matures, perfects, and prepares us to rule and reign with Christ in His Kingdom on earth.
