Becoming Spiritual
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.”[a] The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. (1 Corinthians 15:45)
The first man (Adam) represents that assistant that is not born of the Holy Spirit; he was generated in a womb, but not by God. He does not have God’s DNA, that’s why he is vulnerable to the feelings that the devil brings through situations in his life. He is weak to face the temptations and battles; he has no direction because his strength is earthly (natural). That is why many fall in temptation and are saddened when faced with injustices.
The Last Adam is Spiritual (Living Spirit). In other words, in every situation he sees the hands of God, he is not saddened when faced with problems, on the opposite, He seeks strength in the Holy Spirit. The Problems are not enough to take away his peace; he seeks directions from God, he uses his faith and resists all temptations.
His heart is always shielded from the feelings of this world; the devil cannot find space to work. His mind is always occupied with things from above, with his salvation and with saving souls for our Lord Jesus.
