Adamic

The term "Adamic" in biblical context refers to anything pertaining to Adam, the first human created by God according to the Genesis narrative (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7). Adam serves as a foundational figure in biblical theology, representing the beginning of humanity and the origin of sin as described in Genesis 3. The concept of "Adamic" often encompasses themes of human nature, the human condition, and the consequences of the Fall, which introduces sin into the world and affects all of humanity (Romans 5:12).In theological discussions, "Adamic" can also pertain to the covenant of works, which some traditions believe was established between God and Adam, stipulating that obedience would lead to life while disobedience would result in death (Genesis 2:16-17). The New Testament often contrasts Adam with Christ, who is referred to as the "second Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:45), highlighting the redemptive work of Jesus in countering the effects of sin that entered through Adam. Thus, "Adamic" not only reflects the historical and theological significance of Adam but also serves as a lens through which the narrative of sin and redemption is understood within Christian doctrine.
