Just as how, in Adam, death entered into the world by sin, his disobedience, so also, life is made available through the obedience of Christ, the second Adam. Jesus came to deliver those who in bondage to sin, and therefore death. He accomplished this by dying even though He is sinless, and He took the sins of the world with Him to the grave and rose again because death has no legal hold on Him. And, being the firstborn of the dead, so also all, the entire world, will also be resurrected. Some will be raised to everlasting life and some to eternal destruction, the second death (Jesus did not save anyone from that). The determining factor of which resurrection an individual participates is not determined by their actions, what they did or did not do (because all the sins of the world have been atoned for in Christ) so, what will it be? It will be what it has always been, the one thing that God counts as any man's righteousness.
So, if what Adam took away the freedom to choose from all, then how much more that what Christ did would restore the freedom to choose for all?
