What does it mean that Adam was a type of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Adam is referred to as a type of Christ, representing the first man whose actions affected all humanity, contrasting with Christ's redemptive work.

In Romans 5:14, Adam is identified as a 'figure of him that was to come,' indicating that just as Adam's disobedience brought sin and death to humanity, Christ's obedience brings life and righteousness. Adam served as a prototype, signifying the two representative heads of humanity: through Adam, sin entered the world, while through Christ, redemption and grace are offered. Understanding Adam's role as a type of Christ enriches our comprehension of the gospel narrative, illustrating the perfection of God's plan of salvation ordained from the foundation of the world.
