Jesus: The Son of Adam?

Part 3

This is Ken Ham, on a mission to call the church back to God’s Word and the gospel.

Transcript

Over the next two weeks, we’re looking at New Testament passages that clearly treat Genesis as literal history.

For example, Luke, who wrote the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts, was a historian. Now, in his Gospel, he traces Jesus’ family tree all the way back to Adam. He treats Adam as a real historical person who really lived, and this is important! Since Jesus is a descendant of Adam, any descendant of Adam can be saved!

Many Christians today say Adam wasn’t literal, that he just represents a population of people or some not-quite-human that God gave his image to. But that’s not how Genesis or the New Testament writers describe Adam.
