FIRST ADAM AND SECOND ADAM
This is just a different between two men; the two has different abilities, assignments, and agenda. The first Adam was formed by GOD while creating in the beginning” and God said let us make man in our image after our likeness” he had dominion over all God created and made in the garden of Eden. The second Adam existed before the creation in the beginning, he was the son of God, he was with God. He has always been alive and his himself God. He created everything and there is nothing that exist that he didn’t make.
However the second Adam made the first Adam in the beginning; but the first Adam failed in his quest and assignment, he disobeyed and broke the relationship between him and GOD. He disobeyed by eating the forbidden fruit he was asked not to eat. When the first Adam sinned, sin entered the entire man race. His sin spread death throughout the entire world, so everything GOD made begin to grow old and die. The first Adam caused all these; he brought death to many people through his sin. Moreover, the second Adam was sent by God to the world to repair what the first Adam had destroyed; he came in the form of the first Adam’s nature, but he did not fail in his quest and assignment. Many believed him, but some do not; he died and rose up the third day, just for us to have eternal life, while we believe and have faith in him. Eternal life is in him, and this life gives light to all mankind. He brought forgiveness to many through God’s mercy unlike the first that brought death to men through his sin. The first Adam’s one sin brought the penalty of death to men, while the second Adam freely takes away many sins and gives glorious life instead. The second Adam made men right with God. The fist Adam caused many to be sinners, because he disobeyed God; but the second caused many to be made acceptable to God because he obeyed God. The first Adam was Adam, while the second Adam was JESUS; if the second Adam can obey God by coming to die for us, then we must obey him too. It is well with our soul.
