10 Bible Verses about Adam and Jesus Christ

Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned even over those whose sins were not like Adam's transgression. Adam prefigured Him who was to come,

Thus it is written, 'The first man, Adam, became an animate being, the last Adam a life-giving Spirit';

but the animate, not the spiritual, comes first, and only then the spiritual.

Man the first is from the earth, material; Man the second is from heaven.

but the gift is very different from the trespass. For while the rest of men died by the trespass of one man, the grace of God and the free gift which comes by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ overflowed far more richly upon the rest of men.

For since death came by man, by man came also resurrection from the dead; as all die in Adam, so shall all be made alive in Christ. But each in his own division: ??Christ the first to be reaped; after that, all who belong to Christ, at his arrival.

Nor is the free gift like the effect of the one man's sin; for while the sentence ensuing on a single sin resulted in doom, the free gift ensuing on many trespasses issues in acquittal.

Well then, as one man's trespass issued in doom for all, so one man's act of redress issues in acquittal and life for all. Just as one man's disobedience made all the rest sinners, so one man's obedience will make all the rest righteous.

As Man the material is, so are the material; as Man the heavenly is, so are the heavenly. Thus, as we have borne the likeness of material Man, so we are to bear the likeness of the heavenly Man.

But we are a colony of heaven, and we wait for the Saviour who comes from heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform the body that belongs to our low estate till it resembles the body of his Glory, by the same power that enables him to make everything subject to himself.
