Quickening spirit

"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 KJV). The first man Adam was made a living soul. We found that out in the book of Genesis when God made man out of dust and formed him. Then, God breathed into the nostrils of man and man became a living soul. From that time forward, man began to dwell freely in the presence of God without any barriers or hindrances coming in between God and man. As soon as man disobeyed the command of God, they found themselves naked, hiding from the presence of the Lord, and trying to cover themselves, as sin so knows how to do. I believe Adam and Eve were embarrassed for their disobedience. Their eyes were open and the feeling of guilt and emptiness possibly came upon them, just as it does when one is caught in sin. God was not going to let His creation be destroyed. Thousands of years later man continued to do what man only knows how to do, that is to sin. God knew that man was weak in themselves and unable to ever come in fellowship with Him unless there was a Savior, a Second Adam, that would take the first to the grave. The second Adam came as a quickening Spirit to atone for mankind's sin debt. Our debt was paid for by the blood that was shed at Calvary. Salvation is for everyone who desires to die with the first Adam and to live with the second. Jesus died for all to be free. God bless you. Amen
