How do we know Christ reversed the effects of the fall?
Answered in 1 source
The New Testament affirms that Christ, as the last Adam, restores what was lost through sin and provides spiritual life.
Christ's role in reversing the effects of the fall is a profound aspect of Christian doctrine. As described in 1 Corinthians 15:45, Jesus is the 'last Adam' who became a 'quickening spirit,' offering spiritual life to those who are dead in Adam. Through His death and resurrection, Christ dealt with sin and its ramifications, restoring humanity's relationship with God. This is evident in passages that link our physical and spiritual salvation with Christ's work. His redemptive act not only fulfills the requirements of the law but also brings believers into a new covenant of grace, effectively overcoming the curse imposed due to Adam's sin. We see that in Christ, believers receive a life that is eternal and free from the bondage of sin.
