The Headship of Adam

Romans 5 (New King James Version)

¹² Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— ¹³ (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Headship of Adam

Romans 5:12. Adam the federal head of the human race was also the seminal head. The word seminal (seed) implies that everyone existed in seed form within Adam, and that he was the head of the human race. We were all in the body of Adam when he sinned, just as Levi was in the body of Abraham when he met Melchizedek (Heb. 7:10). In that sense, every member of the human race played a part in the fall of man. When Adam sinned we were actually sinning with him. Adam was also the federal head of the race. In this sense, Adams vote for sin is similar to the vote of a representative, (Congress or Senate), by Adams vote obligates his constituents for certain indebtness. While Adam’s disobedience resulted in the human race being plunged into sin, the obedience of Christ (the second Adam) gives Christians the power to overcome sin in their lives. (Rom. 5:12 – 21; Gen. 2:24) – this headship of Adam tells us that we were born of sin / into sin – therefore we must repent of our sins, ask and seek forgiveness from God, live at the Cross, for me most of all pray for God’s mercy and grace. Without God’s mercy and the forgiveness through the Cross on my soul I would still be dead to sin and living in God only knows what kind of life a this point. Let those that have ears hear; we must repent and be forgiven on a daily bases. We were in Him (Christ) from the foundations of the earth. What is just as amazing is we were also in the Last Adam. Therefore when he was on the cross we were in him and thus we WERE crucified with him, buried with him, and raised with him!! I also know that we were blessed in him with all spiritual blessings because he too was the "seminal" head. His seed is the Word of God!!!! We were healed in every which way you can be healed by virtue of this union just as we were cursed in every which way by our union with the first Adam. The second Adam saved us just as the first Adam killed us.

1.	pertaining to, containing, or consisting of semen.

“Adam the federal head of the human race was also the seminal head. The word seminal (seed) implies that everyone existed in seed form within Adam, and that he was the head of the human race. We were all in the body of Adam when he sinned, just as Levi was in the body of Abraham when he met Melchizedek: “…through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes, for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him” (Hebrews 7:9-10).

In that sense, every member of the human race played a part in the fall of man. When Adam sinned we were actually sinning with him.

Adam was also the federal head of the race. In this sense, Adams vote for sin is similar to the vote of a representative. By “Senator” Adams vote, he obligated his constituents for certain in-debtness.

While Adam’s disobedience resulted in the human race being plunged into sin, the obedience of Christ (the last Adam) gives Christians the power to overcome sin in their lives (see Romans 5:12 – 21; Genesis 2:24). “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit” (1 Corinthians 15:45).

This headship of Adam tells us that we were born of sin / into sin – therefore we must repent of our sins, ask and seek forgiveness from God; live at the Cross, and for me, most of all pray for God’s mercy and grace. Without God’s mercy and the forgiveness through the Cross on my soul, I would still be dead to sin and living in God only knows what kind of life at this point. Let those that have ears hear; we must repent and be forgiven on a daily bases.

“The second Adam saved us; the first Adam killed us.”

This is a good word.

It is amazing that we were also in the Last Adam from before the foundation of the world. Therefore when he was on the cross we were in him and thus we WERE crucified with him, buried with him, and raised with him!! We were blessed in him with all spiritual blessings because he too was the "seminal" head. His seed was the Word of God!!!! We were healed in every which way you can be healed by virtue of this union just as we were cursed in every which way by our union with the first Adam. We were healed in every which way by the second Adam.
