    II. JESUS CHRIST IS TO FILL THE PLACE OF THE FIRST ADAM

    “The first man, Adam, was made a living soul; the last Adam, a quickening spirit.” “The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” 1 Corinthians 15:45, 47. The first Adam having lost the earth, together with his life, the second Adam came to purchase and restore both the one and the other. Thus the apostle, in Ephesians 1:13, 14: “In whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession.” Heaven, the heaven of heavens, was never under the dominion of any other but the God of heaven, that it should be purchased. But this earth was lost, and Jesus Christ has purchased and will redeem it. Adam’s race were dead in law; Jesus Christ has tasted death for them, that he might bring them forth into second life from the grave; “they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.” The one class will come forth to “everlasting life,” the other to “shame and everlasting contempt.” Then the dominion of Christ shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.PREX1 10.3
