"There is no hope of righteousness to any soul except by that one Man,—thank the Lord,—the last
Adam. True, he is the second Adam; but the Scripture calls him the
last Adam; and that is
better; for, if it had been only “the second Adam,” there might have
been a chance for the suggestion, “There may be a third Adam, and that
will give me another chance.”
But that will never do: there will be no
third Adam.
The last Adam who can ever come has come.
And whosoever
shall not be delivered by that last Adam is forever lost. “There is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12).
The first Adam sinned; and by him we became heirs of sin.
The last Adam sinned not;
and therefore by becoming heirs of him, we become heirs of sinning NOT.
The first Adam brought death to us all;
and the second Adam, by not
sinning, brought life to us all.
And do not forget that he is the LAST
ADAM."
A.T. Jones
