After everything is said and done, a person’s salvation comes down to one simple fact: where he or she is geographically, Spiritually speaking, that is. We are either “In Adam” or “In Christ”. There is no other place for the human race to be. To be “In” the former, “All die”; but “In” the latter, “All are made alive.”
In the garden of paradise, Adam gave up God’s will for his own. In the garden of Gethsemane, the second Adam (Jesus) gave up His will for God’s. Adam gave up his dependence on God to live a life of complete independence. Christ gave up a life of independence to live a life totally dependent upon God.
This is the one sure way of telling who is “In Adam” and who are “In Christ”. It is either “We will not have this man to reign over us,” and live a cursed life; or a life of blessing, by saying, “[We will not] henceforth live unto [ourselves], but unto him which died for [us], and rose again.” God says, “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse.” Choose!
