Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 19—especially explaining how we have eternal souls because of our relation to the first Adam, and the state of those souls is determined by our relation to the last Adam.

Drawing from the creation narrative of Adam, it explains that humanity shares a unified relationship with Adam, inheriting his status and consequences through covenantal ties. This understanding is then contrasted with the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, the 'last Adam,' who offers a path to conformity with his resurrected body and holy soul. Ultimately, the message underscores the critical choice facing every individual: to remain in the first Adam, facing eternal suffering, or to embrace the grace of the last Adam, in Whom there is everlasting favor and blessing from God.
