The good news is that Jesus Christ, the last Adam and our covenant Head, perfectly fulfilled the demands of the CW and that perfect righteousness is the reason why God can extend the CG to the elect. Romans 5:12-21 describes the situation between the two federal heads of the human race. Adam represented the human race in the Garden and failed to uphold the CW, thereby plunging him and his posterity into sin and death. Jesus Christ stood as man’s representative, from His temptation in the wilderness all the way to Calvary, and perfectly fulfilled the CW. That is why Paul can say, “As in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22).
Adamu anawakilisha jamii ya wanadamu katika bustani mwa Edeni na kushindwa kutekeleza agano la kikizi, na hivyo ikamweka yeye na vizazi vyake katika dhambi na mauti. Yesu Kristo alisimama kama mwakilishi wa mwanadamu, tangia majaribu yake katika jangwa hadi Kalvari, na kikamilifu alitekeleza agano la kikazi. Hii ndiyo sababu Paulo anaweza kusema, "Kwa kuwa kama katika Adamu wote wanakufa, kadhalika na katika Kristo wote watahuishwa " (1 Wakorintho 15:22).
