Sevenfold Contrast And Comparison Between Adam And Jesus Christ

Sevenfold Contrast And Comparison Between Adam And Jesus Christ:

A. Sevenfold contrast between Adam and Jesus Christ:

Romans 5:12-13 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Romans 5:14-19

1) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 

2) But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. 

3) For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 

4) And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 

5) For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

6) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 

7) For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

B. Adam is mentioned by name in seven verses in the New Testament:

1) Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

2) Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

3) 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

4) 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

5) 1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

6) 1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

7) Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
