1Co 15:22 "...in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."
All human beings are either IN ADAM or IN CHRIST in the eyes of God. All of us are naturally born in Adam. We need to be born again supernaturally in order to be in Christ.
Imagine two trains: the first is called "Adam" and the second is called "Jesus Christ."
We were born naturally in the first, we need to be born again in order to be in the second. The destination of the first is heading towards death and judgment, while the destination of the second is heading towards life and blessing.
We need to transfer to the second. No matter how many good works and religious activities you do in the first does not alter its destination. We cannot save ourselves by our efforts away from being in Adam.
We must be transferred by God's grace to the other. And it is only through faith in the Savior and what He did on the cross can this happen.
