God initiated the human race with the first Adam. That Adam ended our ideal life of unobstructed relationship with God because he succumbed to temptation and disobeyed God. As the last Adam, Jesus (Yeshua‘) reconstituted or re-vamped humankind. He won a fresh start for us by dying on the cross. A new dimension of life is now available to us in relationship with Jesus.
