What does the Bible say about Adam as a figure of Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes Adam as a figure of Christ, representing humanity in sin, while Christ represents salvation and righteousness.

In Romans 5:14, Adam is labeled as a figure of Christ, with the key point being that Adam's role is as an anti-type to Christ. While Adam brought sin and death into the world through his disobedience, Christ, as the second Adam, brings life and salvation through His obedience. Paul further elucidates this in 1 Corinthians 15:45-47, showing the contrasts between Adam, a natural man who brought death, and Christ, a spiritual figure, who offers life and resurrection. Adam is the federal head of humanity, while Christ is the federal head of those who believe, effectively making them alive in Him, contrasting their two representative roles dramatically.
