The True and Better Adam

How can a holy God treat Christians as if we had lived the perfect life that Jesus Christ lived? In addition, how can a just God treat Christians as if we had died for our own sins, when Christ actually died for them? In Romans 5:12–21, the apostle Paul answers such questions. He goes on to explain how Jesus Christ can secure our justification because God appointed Him as our representative, just as He did Adam in the garden of Eden. Join Tom Pennington as he explains why the Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ is The True and Better Adam.
