Introduction
The church does not know who she is, because she does not know who she was.”
– Sandra L. Richter
1. Adam (and Eve) are the original image bearers of God in the story of creation.
2. Adam (and Eve) fall into temptation and are the representative humans whose sin fracture our relationship with God, leading to death.
3. Jesus Christ is the true image of God who restores our relationship with God.
4. Jesus Christ is our representative who has victory over temptation, saves us from the consequences of sin and gives us “new creation” life.
