How do we know Jesus is the second Adam?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is identified as the second Adam because He fulfills God's plan of redemption where the first Adam failed.

The concept of Jesus as the second Adam is rooted in Scripture, particularly in 1 Corinthians 15:45, which states that 'the first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.' In contrast to the first Adam, who brought sin and death into the world through his disobedience, Jesus, the second Adam, brings life and redemption through His obedience and sacrifice. His victory over sin and death restores fellowship with God for those who believe. Thus, the second Adam is crucial for understanding salvation and the reversal of the fall's effects.
