1 Adam in Genesis Vern S. Poythress, Ph.D., Th.D. Westminster Theological Seminary Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
2 The Challenge What difference does Adam make to me? God wants us to understand the big picture.
3 A. Roots in God
4 Creation of Mankind Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion." Genesis 1:26 plural Significant.
5 The Trinity God consults himself God consults his wisdom (Prov. 8:22-31; Isa. 40:13-14) The Son is wisdom (Col. 2:3; 1 Cor. 1:30) The Spirit has wisdom (Isa. 40:13; 1 Cor. 2:10-11)
6 God as Trinity Making Man God the Father gratitude, awe The Son GOD makes Adam The Spirit makes you
7 God Speaking Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion." Genesis 1:26 The Root: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1
8 God Creating by Speaking God the Father in the Word crafted by speech speaks makes Adam by the power of the Spirit makes you
9 God Imaging Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion." Genesis 1:26 The Root: He [Christ] is the image of the invisible God. Col. 1:15 Original.
10 God Creating by Imaging God the Father in the Word reflecting God manifests (images) makes image Adam by the power of the Spirit makes you
11 B. Historical Adam Disputed.
12 Structure of Genesis "In the beginning" 1:1 "These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created" 2:4 "This is the book of the generations of Adam" 5:1 "These are the generations of Noah" 6:9 "These are the generations of the sons of Noah" 10:1 "These are the generations of Shem" 11:10
13 Structure of Genesis "Now these are the generations of Terah" 11:27 "These are the generations of Ishmael" 25:12 "These are the generations of Isaac" 25:19 "These are the generations of Esau" 36:1 "These are the generations of Jacob" 37:2
14 Signs of Real Events God's plan involves personal relationships with image bearers; Genesis follows the line of image bearers. Genesis fits into later history of Exodus to 2 Kings Later OT and NT references to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and his sons
15 Necessity of Adam For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Cor. 15:22 How can you and I really die in a nonreal (fictional) person?
16 Meaning of Salvation in Christ In Context: creation fall redemption consummation
17 Fall and Redemption fall in Adam redemption in Christ What is not lost cannot be restored.
18 Myths around Israel People sense responsibility to God (Rom. 1:18-23) In idolatry they twist the truth True picture of man before God idol dark Bible light Confused polytheistic distortion The Bible unravels the twist
19 Genesis 1-2 and Scripture
20 Progressive Revelation Narrative is sparse The beginning, not the whole God intends it to link to later revelation Divine wisdom from eternity Seed to tree Be patient with your life The whole story belongs together.
21 C. Covenant and Purpose
22 Structure of Word and Deed word deed word "Let there be light." "Let us make man." And there was light. So God created man. The light was good. And God blessed them. plan execution evaluation
23 Unity of History "Let us make man." So God created man. And God blessed them. plan execution evaluation The Father The Son The Spirit covenantal plan creation covenant
24 Unity of History God the Father in the Word speaks by the power of the Spirit covenantal plan creation covenant
25 Divine Wisdom in Covenant GOD creation covenant God's instruction suits what we really are!
26 Divine Purpose for Mankind GOD creation covenant project execution evaluation eschatology
27 Divine Purpose for Mankind (2) GOD Adam: Christ: you, in Christ: project execution curse project execution consummation project execution consummation
28 D. Adam as Representative
29 Aspects of Representation Representatively created ("man" 2:7) Representatively addressed (2:16-17; 3:9-11) Representatively cursed (3:17-19) Spread of death (5:3-31)
30 Christ's Representation Representatively made ("man" Heb. 2:17) Representatively addressed (Heb. 5:6-7) Representatively cursed (Gal. 3:13) Spread of life (Rom. 8:10-11)
31 Depth of sin Intensity (Gen. 6) Extent (Gen. 5) Depth (failures of patriarchs) Innate (Gen. 6:5) Promise of a redeemer (Gen. 3:15) Intensity of renewal Extent of renewal Depth of renewal Innate newness Fulfillment of redeemer
