I'm nost sure what you mean that "life was lost with Adam's sin."
Because of the Fall of Adam and Eve, all people live in a fallen condition, separated from God (which is a spiritual death) and subject to physical death. However, we are not condemned by what many call the "original sin." In other words, we are not accountable for Adam's transgression in the Garden of Eden. Men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
As far as when "Jesus saves the deserving to eternal life again," it is through the atonement of Jesus - which he has already effected - that this is made possible. To atone is to suffer the penalty for sins, thereby removing the effects of sin from the repentant sinner and allowing him or her to be reconciled to God. Jesus Christ was the only one capable of carrying out the Atonement for all mankind. Because of His Atonement, all people will be resurrected (saved from physical death), and those who obey His gospel will receive the gift of eternal life with God (saved from spiritual death).
As for the exact timeframe of these coming events (resurrection of all and judgmentof some to eternal life, others to other glories), well, the scriptures say, "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." (which, by the way, indicates that God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, His Son, are two separate and distinct beings)
