Headwaters of the Generations

‘Headwaters of the Generations’

Scripture explains the First and the Second Adams. 
The first proceeded all mankind to follow, and was shown to have a particular
role in his responsibility before God – See the Genesis 3.14-19, and 3.22 –
“Behold the man has become…”  While Eve was first to the Fruit, Adam is
God’s focus in his responsibility.  It is through the man that sin and the
propensity we are born with passes to the next generation.  This is why
none of us can escape it – by the time we are created then born, the die is
already cast.

The only way this cycle could be escaped was through a
father who was not of Adam’s line and was without the sin to be passed
on.  And, the Christ would also be a human to be eligible to be our High
Priest.  Add in that this Person would also need to be God and do
everything He does.  Thus, the Holy Ghost fathered the Christ through a
human, Mary.  Therefore, he would fulfill all of the parts necessary.

Christ brought a New Covenant that requires us to die and
be reborn in His Line.  The only way we can be released of the Law as an
Adamic descendant is to be spiritually removed from the original Covenant, much
the same way as a wife is held to her covenant with her husband until one of
them dies (1 Cor 7.39).  This person now in Christ is relieved of his
obligation to the Law as he was born under Adam’s generation, and transferred
to an obligation under Christ’s Covenant, under Christ’s generation.  He
is a new creation.

The generations to follow both Adam and Christ are bound
by their predecessor’s spiritual parentage, and both generations will reap the
consequences.
