You Sinned and Died in Adam [Children's Catechism 34 Simply Explained]

Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 34—especially explaining how Adam was acting for us in the Covenant of Works.

Q34. Did Adam act for himself alone in the covenant of works? No; he represented all his posterity.(click here to DOWNLOAD mp3/pdf files of this lesson) The lesson centers on the biblical doctrine of federal representation, emphasizing that Adam did not act solely for himself in the covenant of works but served as a representative head for all humanity, including his wife and all who would come from him, after him. Drawing from Romans 5:12 and 1 Corinthians 15:22, it underscores that sin and death entered the world through Adam’s disobedience and spread to all people because all sinned in him. Christ, the new Adam, born of a virgin, stands outside of Adam’s lineage and thus offers a new federal headship of a new race. The unity of humanity in Adam anticipates the hope of redemption in Christ.
