“The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.”
1 Corinthians 15:47 KJV
Paul explains that human life was reduced to slavery and the soul-ruled earthly realm through Adam’s fall, but is now awakened to lordship in the heavenly realm of spiritual realities through the knowledge of our co-resurrection with Christ. We theologically created the idea of mankind being “sinful by nature“, as if humans are flawed by design. In fact it is a distorted mindset that we inherited from Adam that Jesus had to free us from. Our indifferent mindset alienated us from God into a lifestyle of annoyances, hardships and labours, sponsored by the law of sin and death that lodged in our bodies hosting a foreign influence, foreign to our design; just like a virus attaches itself to a person. There is nothing wrong with our design or salvation, we were thinking wrong. We are defined by our heavenly image made in Jesus’s image! Hallelujah!
