First Adam, Last Adam

Standard

Devotion:  1 Corinthians 15: 45-58

In the beginning of time; God created the very first man, Adam.  He formed him from the dust of the ground,  Everything else was spoken into being by the Creator of the sun, moon and stars, the earth and all that was in it.  There was not a big bang; it happened because God spoke all of it into existence.

Look at the words He spoke from Genesis 1

Vs. 3.     God said, “Let there be light:” and there was light.          Vs. 5.     God called the light day and the darkness He called                      night.                                                                              Vs. 8.     God called the expanse heaven.                                    Vs. 9.     God said, Let the waters below the heavens be                            gathered into one place and let the dry land appear.        Vs. 10.   God called the dry land earth and the gathering of the                  waters He called seas.                                                      Vs. 11.   Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation,                          plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth                            bearing fruit after their kind…                                            Vs. 16.   God made two great lights, one for the day (sun) and                     one for the night..(moon)                                                  Vs.20.    Then God said, “Let the waters team with living                             creatures…..Let birds fly above the earth.                        Vs. 24.   Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living                               creatures,,,cattle and creeping things and beasts of                     the earth…                                                                        Vs. 26.    Then God said, “Let us make man in our image,..”

Genesis 2:7.   Then the Lord formed man of dust from the                                   ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath                             of life…

We saw God had already said; in Chapter 1, vs. 26, Let Us make man in our image.  That implicates the Trinity, from the very beginning. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.” With His hands; God made us in His image, from the dust of the ground.  From dust we came and to dust we shall return.  The first Adam (man) was created from the dust of the ground,

You read the verse that said the Last Adam became a life-giving spirit.  Although Christ was fully God and fully man; He died a horrific death of crucifixion for you and me and was raised up three days later.  Jesus now lives at the right hand of the Father interceding for us.  Christ is the last Adam, our God given-way to eternal salvation.

Prayer in Motion:

Oh Lord my God, thank You for providing a way to have eternal life.  Open the eyes of the lost people in this world before it’s too late, to accept the only Way, the Truth and the Life.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.
