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

Jewish people during the period of the Apostle Paul believed that Adam’s sin introduced sin and thus death into the world. Therefore, all his descendants shared in his guilt.

The second coming of Christ guarantees the resurrection of all believers. They will enter into a new kind of life, where death will no longer have any part. All who die die in Adam, all who will be made alive will be made alive in Christ. We will all triumph over death because of Christ, Though we are subjected to temporal as the consequence of Adam’s act, we shall be raised from the dead by Christ when he returns.
