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

Another "wow" verse. I was reading my Bible and came across this.

The first man Adam was made a living soul

        -The first Adam of course was the one part of the Adam and Eve couple. It says here when God made, him, his soul was living. When Adam and Eve sinned...that part of them died. I wonder, did it physically hurt? We know they were aware right away of their sin condition, because they hid themselves. I once heard a preacher say that he believed when a little child starts becoming modest and aware of being naked that that is when they become accountable. There is a lot of logic to that.

 the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.

          - This is the Lord, this last Adam. Quicken means to spring to life. Jesus was able to bring us to life...but only through His death. We know it hurt when He died on the cross. The physical pain...the Spiritual pain of taking our sin upon Him...The Familial pain of God seeing His perfect son, who knew no sin, nailed to the cross of shame...meant for the worst of sinner. It was so bad that God turned His back on the scene for a span of three hours. 
             BUT because He loved me....For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
             BUT you can't just believe. James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God, thou doest well; the devils also believe, and tremble. The devil is never going to call heaven is home again.
             BUT I am a sinner and that sin keeps me out of heaven, and if I can't go to heaven because of my sin then there is only one place to go....Hell. Romans 3:10 As it is written their is none righteous, no not one. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23a The wages of sin is death.... a wage is a payment...what you get for what you've done. This death is referring to the second death found in Rev.21:8...Jesus never sinned so He didn't have to die. He volunteered to take my place. He hung on the cross with my sin upon Him. He gave up the ghost and descended into hell to take my sin there. In doing so He became victorious over death because He didn't stay in that grave...He rose again.
            BUT the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23b. It is a gift I cannot earn it, work for it, or loose it. If I lost it, it would have to be paid for again.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
            BUT God made a way. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. He wants us to go to heaven
            BUT only in His way.Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
             DON'T put it off. James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth.
