       The people had the sin nature, and they went about sinning in the world, even though they didn’t have a Law to show them what they were doing wrong. However, they were still sinning, it just wasn’t counted. I’m just not sure if we can really understand what this means in full. We understand that the people were judged by the Flood, so God still gave judgment for sin. Adam was a type of Christ. Now, how is this? Well, he was a type of Christ in the reverse way. He sinned, and all were affected in a negative way. All inherited the sin nature. All were disobedient to God. One might say Adam is like Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars. He ended up sinning, and many were defiled by his sin. And Christ, who’s he like? Well in this analogy, he’s like Luke Skywalker. The many are given hope and helped through his actions. But as we are going to see in the next section, Paul here is about to explain the goodness of Christ’s obedience to God, how he is the opposite of Adam.
