1 Corinthians 15: 45-49 AMPC
45 Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life]. 46 But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual. 47 The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven. 48 Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded). 49 And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven.
What an amazing thought it is to think that we as humans, made from the dust of earth - were also made to carry the image of the all-powerful, sovereign God. However, maybe even more amazing to me is the thought that God chose to come to earth in human form - not just to carry the image of man, but to redeem the image of God in man.
Point to ponder: How earthly or heavenly minded are we in our daily walk?
