Adam as the first man, head of the old creation
Antitype: As Adam brought death to all, Christ brings life to all who believe. The first Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam is a life-giving spirit.
Adam was the first man, created by God from the dust of the ground and animated by divine breath. He was placed in Eden as its keeper, named all animals, received Eve as his wife, but brought sin and death upon humanity through his disobedience.
