The Second Adam

April 13, 2024

1 Corinthians 15:47 — What does it mean that Jesus is the second Adam? Adam was the first man and was the head of all of humanity. But when he sinned, he brought sin upon all his descendants, and this sin meant that all men were destined to die. In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:47, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains why Jesus is the only hope for the world because He is the new Adam. Just as Adam brought sin and death to many, Jesus will bring life and forgiveness of sins to many! As Adam was the head of the old humanity, Christ is the head of the new humanity and all of the new creation. The only way to be freed from sin and its consequence – death – is to believe in Jesus. All those that trust in Jesus will be perfected in last day and free from all sin and judgement. Jesus is the true light of the world and He alone can save sinners and make them right with God. This sermon calls us all to forsake sin and come to Jesus. He alone makes all things new by His death and resurrection. He alone can reverse all the effects of the fall and Adam's first sin. Jesus alone saves!
