Adam / Christ…..

[Not me]

1 Corinthians 15:45 (NASB20)
So also it is written: “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING PERSON.” The last Adam was a life-giving spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:47 (NASB20)
The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scripture contrasts Adam with Christ, because both are the beginning of something…. Adam the beginning of God’s creation of man, Christ the beginning of God’s re-creation of man…. One just as real and true as the other, one being from that which can be seen, the other being from that which can not…. Which brings man’s choice and desire to the forefront, for if one does not want the earthy, one may have the heavenly by the denying of the earthy….. For only one whose heart desires the heavenly above the earthy will deny the earthy for the hope of something from a God that can not be seen… Trusting, that He is capable of doing what He has promised, that being, the re-creation of one’s very own self….

For the heart that is willing to give up it’s own life of the earthy to receive this new righteous life of the heavenly will experience this new life in the time of this life to the degree of the willingness to give up the earthy….. For the gift of salvation is free to all that would have it, but what one does with that gift determines the growing of the heavenly, for all have a equal opportunity to grow the heavenly by denying and dying to the earthy…

This is the choice set before all man; the love of the truth that one might be a new creation… For right and wrong have been revealed to all man, therefore the choice, will one embrace the righteousness of the heavenly, being the question of life to all….

For if one wills, the question is set then again to all those that would choose the Heavenly; to what degree will one say no to one’s life of the earthy, and yes to the Life of the One who can not be seen…?

My answer, To the degree that I abide......

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  Philippians 4:13

"My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me"   Galatians 2:20

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing"   Jn, 15, 5

May we all be blessed with a heart that would fully follow after Christ….

Yes, Adam was a Son of God because he came directly from God and was not born of Humans.   Messiah Jesus is both the Son of Man and Son of God.  Although, Jesus was born of the Spirit of God, not Man (Joseph), he entered into our world through the womb of woman (Mary) so therefore technically a Son of Man also.  Son of Man simply means born of Man, where as Son of God means born of God.

Those who are born again are technically Sons/daughters of God.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: - Jhn 1:12
