Christ is: The Prize of all Prizes
"In this man Jesus there is total forgiveness for your sins!" "There is now no condemnation in anyone who is in Christ Jesus. Who walks not after the flesh (Adam) but after the Spirit (Christ)."(Acts 13:38)(Rom 8:1)
There are only two original humans. Every human being is automatically a descendant of Adam, the first Original Human Being. However, Adam made a giant mistake and got separated from the "Spirit of Life". He not only died himself, but brought death upon all of his offspring as well.
Jesus Christ is the second Original Human Being. He brought the "Spirit of Life" back into the world and makes it available to anyone who will choose Him as their Original Spiritual Father. You must be a child of one or the other. Compare the advantages:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not parish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)
To choose Christ as your Spiritual Father, a person must be "born again of the Spirit of Life" that Christ has made available. Anyone who is in Christ becomes a completely new creature, "old things are passed away and all things are made new". (2Cor 5:17)
