Amen.
1 John 4:2
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Philippians 2:6-7
Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to cling to, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Hebrews 2:9-11
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the pioneer ["archegos"] of their salvation perfect through suffering.
11 For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers
747 arxēgós (from 746 /arxḗ, "the first" and 71 /ágō, "to lead") – properly, the first in a long procession; a file-leader who pioneers the way for many others to follow. 747 (arxēgós) does not strictly mean "author," but rather "a person who is originator or founder of a movement and continues as the leader – i.e. 'pioneer leader, founding leader'
-----
Christ came in the likeness of a man to show how man should walk in the Holy Spirit of God like Christ did in this same flesh from Adam. And so it's on us to "follow the leader", for we "can do all things through Christ who gives [us] the strength".

amen great comment, if then a person looks at romans 5
romans 5: 12-21 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
18Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."
its a better understanding we see that aams transgression, lead mankind to sin resulting in death, sort of like imputed sin that man followed resulting in genesis 6, and that Christ is undong that through offering the gift of righteousness for us to follow leading to eternal Life. after conversing with many its seen as one act of sin condemned, one act of righteousness saved, yet those after adam though His act brought death, all followed sin with a few acceptions, now the opposite the righteousness Christ Lived and the new birth He offers, is what we follow in, leading to eternal Life and redemption.
they followed adam to death, we follow Jesus to Life. God bless and thanks for the insight
