What does the Bible say about the first and second Adam?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible contrasts the first Adam, who represents sin and death, with the second Adam, Jesus Christ, who brings righteousness and life.

In scripture, the first Adam symbolizes humanity's fall into sin, bringing spiritual death and condemnation. Romans 5:12 tells us that through one man, sin entered the world. In contrast, the second Adam, or Christ, brings redemption and eternal life through His perfect obedience and sacrifice. This theological distinction emphasizes the necessity of recognizing our identity in Adam and then finding our true hope in Jesus Christ, who fulfills and transcends the brokenness of the first Adam.
