Q3. (Romans 5:15-19) By what right does Adam represent all humankind? His trespass
By what right does Christ become head of all who become his disciples? His death of the Cross.
If Christ is not our "representative" or "head," how can his death for sins be effective for us? Since we believe that he is our risen Lord then if He is not our head it means that his death has not effect on us.
