In this episode of the We Are Recreated Podcast, we're comparing Adam vs Christ. By faith, we're taken out of Adam's family line and adopted into the family of God.
The contrast between these two family leaders, the identity that is borne out of each, and the system for living we inherit is stark. Check out these Bible passages to explore more:
