With the new Adam there are two different races on this planet the race of the first Adam in its fallen state and the Race of the Second Adam the New Creation. Before Jesus became Jesus the Second Last New Adam He was God the Word

The word adoption used in the New Testament is a bad translation if you look it up in the Greek, it carries the idea of sonship or placed as a son, how can you be born of God and adopted of God, it's one of the other and there's more references to being born of God created in Christ Jesus the new creation than adoption, and even in the natural if I'm adopted by a family I may have all the rights and privileges of that family that adopted me but I still have the nature of the father that gave birth to me through procreation meaning I don't have the nature of the father that adopted me, so with God we have a new nature it's a divine nature it's the same nature that Jesus was born with which I call a nature of sonship which brings us back to Luke 3:38 Adam son of God and you cannot get that nature through adoption but through regeneration or Recreation or being Born Again of the Spirit Etc! There are very few translations that have it right but if you look at Rotherham Translation it carries the word sonship every time the word adoption is used in other translations and versions, I'm not a big fan of the NIV but it does get it right at times look it up for yourself, the Lord show me this years ago, also worth noting in this short and brief teaching is that Jesus is called the firstborn or first to be born from among the Dead meaning those who are spiritually dead in their trespasses which began at the fall of Man which is very very interesting Colossians 1:18, shalom
Why does God allow sin once we are saved? The question should why do we allow sin? God allows what we allow going back to the garden. We've been given the power to overcome sin, we're no longer sinners but Saints, we are Holy blameless Beyond reproach in our recreated spirit, we are commanded to put off the old man and to put on the new man, all of this regarding the soul since we are spirit soul and body, easy peasy, what's the problem, stupid question if you ask me
The Word of God itself is powerful, but it's the believed Word that enables and releases and empowers God to perform it since He is alert and active sleepless watching over His Word to perform it Jeremiah 1:12, we are to be the believers He is the performer of what we believe as long as we believe what He believes
