What does the Bible say about representative union?

Answered in 1 source

Representative union in the Bible teaches that humanity falls in Adam and rises in Christ.

The doctrine of representative union, as presented in Romans 5, demonstrates that all humanity fell with Adam's disobedience and is represented in Jesus Christ for salvation. When Adam sinned, sin and death entered the world, condemning all sinning in him. Conversely, through Christ's righteous act, those whom He represents are justified and saved. This dual representation underlines the sovereignty of God's grace, illustrating that just as Adam's failure affected all, Christ's success guarantees salvation for His elect.
