Life made in Christ
1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
The consequence of Adam's sin was the physical death of all humanity, because all humanity through Adam was driven from the tree of life. The resultant of Jesus' obedience was the resurrection of all the dead.
Adam brought death on man through sin, the mind and spirit of man became subjected to the flesh and the works of the devil.
Man became slaves to sin which is contrary to the purpose and will of God for man. The aftermath of any man who continues to sin will be both Physical death and the eternal death which is to come.
" In Christ", refers to only those who are spiritually descendants of Christ. Those who have been immersed into Christ, and thus, have come into contact with the life-preserving blood of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Paul states that, only those who are in Christ will be raised for eternal dwelling when Jesus comes again. Jesus had declared in John 5:24 that those who come to Him have passed from death to life.
Believers in Christ had passed from death into life in this life because he has been buried with Jesus, and subsequently, raised with Him in order to walk in hope of a bodily resurrection to come.
It is only in Christ we can have abundance of life here on earth and also the life to come. All we have to do is to confess our sins, accept Christ as our lord and continually walk with him in righteousness and holiness. There is no salvation or life in any other, but in Christ Jesus.
Do not be ignorant of the second death. Accept Christ today and turn from your evil ways.
God bless you.
