So much is said about Adam’s sin in
the garden. And truly, the sins of Adam and Eve, in succumbing to the deceiving
temptation of Satan were grievous, and much was lost because of them. But everything that was lost by the first
Adam, was gained back by the second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ; the only
begotten Son of God.
I Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It
is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in
glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a
spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was
made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is
spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the
second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are
earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
This passage deals with our resurrected in relation to the
likeness of Jesus’ resurrected body. All of that which is first is as a result
of he which was first; Adam. ( Death, corruption, dishonor, weakness.) All of that which is second is all to the
glory of Him Who was second; (life, in-corruption, glory, power).
We cannot put a time table on it, but we can have assurance
that one day, everything we lost in Adam’s sin, we’ll have again because of
Jesus’ life, righteousness, and His finished work of the cross!
The Scripture even teaches us that our resurrected body
will bear the image, or likeness of He which is heavenly.
