Why No 3rd Adam

"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."
