The first and last Adam.

Wednesday, September 14th
The first and last Adam.

“And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”
1 Corinthians 15:45

Adam the first man was a type of Christ who is referred to as the last Adam in our opening scripture.

In the same vein, when you were born the first time into this world, you were born with the life and nature of the first Adam which is the natural human life. The natural human life is subject to the law of sin and death, so all the propensities and challenges of the first Adam was revealed in you. When you get born again according to the second Adam who is Christ Jesus the life giving Spirit. You received eternal life  the nature of God which is superior to the law of sin and death. Therefore all the propensities and ability of Christ is revealed in you.

With this understanding, it is obvious that every child of God should not suffer what the children of the first Adam suffer. Children of the first Adam can give birth to dysfunctional children because the law of death is at work in them and that law distorts the human DNA. Those of us who are after the last Adam have been recreated in Christ therefore our DNA is upgraded, so when we give birth to children great is their peace, they are taught of the Lord, holy, pure and intelligent. Praise God.

Confession.
In the name of Jesus, I declare that I have been recreated in Christ. I am a new creation; my old previous moral and spiritual condition is passed away. I am walking in the newness of life. I am dead to sin and alive to God through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

For further study, read:
Romans 6:6-11, Ephesians 4:22-24,
Colossians 3:9-10.

Doing the Word.
Meditate on Colossians 3:3, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
