1 Cor 15:4545 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.(NIV)1 Cor 15:4747 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.(KJV)The Lord God formed the first man out of the dust of the earth and named him Adam. There was no way for this first man to reproduce, no place for his seed, and so the Lord took from Adam’s side a habitation for his seed (his wife). All that came from Adam came from the joining of Adam’s seed to Eve. As a result we were all there present (in Adam’s seed) from the day of the fall, and we all inherit the consequences of the fall, because we were part of the fall being present in Adam’s seed.Then the Lord did a new thing. He joined His Seed to Adam’s flesh, and created a new race, the second man, (the God-man). This was unlike the joining of Adam’s seed to himself. This became a new creation, a new race! But this new God-man had no way to reproduce He had no where to place His seed. Like Adam, Jesus slept and out of His side came a place for His Seed, called the Church (His Bride). We, who by faith, receive His Seed within us, are born of this new race of the God-man, enjoy all that belongs to Jesus, because we were there present in His Seed when He won victory. We are part of the new race by faith, the God-man race, an entirely New Creation. Just as we inherited all that was in Adam, including the curse without doing a thing, except being born flesh, so do we inherit all the blessings that are in Jesus without doing a thing except being born of the Life giving Spirit. Be blessed.
