ADAM*, The Second

Analogy that compares and contrasts the first man with the one he is seen to typify, the Lord Jesus Christ. Two essential passages develop the idea, which basically states that, while Adam’s historically rooted sin caused horrible consequences for the human race, the perfect work of Jesus Christ provided the complete remedy for mankind’s resultant condition (Rom 5:12-21; 1 Cor 15:22, 45-49). See Adam (Person).
