Romans 7 Dying and Rising With Christ - The Last Adam Part 7

Paul speaks of Christ as the Last Adam. In this he shows the relationship of Christ to all humanity, connecting him with Adam through Israel who is the personification of Adam. It is in the last Adam where man finally reaches his destiny for good or bad. Dying and rising with Christ must be seen in the light of Jesus as the last Adam. It is here where the body of Christ begins in the body of his flesh, dying with him and rising in that process for the purpose of receiving life.
