“And as we have borne the
image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly”
1Corinthians 15:49.
LIGHT FOR THE NOW:
We receive a dead nature from Adam but receive eternal life from Christ.
The scripture above
clearly gives us the difference between Jesus and Adam. Adam is not Christ and
Christ is not Adam. Adam is of the earthly. He came from the dust and is
earthly minded. He is dead, doomed and cannot function in heavenly things. He
is dead to the things of God in Christ.
To be heavenly, means that you are of
heaven. It means that you are heavenly minded and dead to earthly things
because you possess the image of the heavenly and have the DNA of God at work
in you. In Adam, we have a dead nature. In Christ, we have eternal life. Adam
became a living soul but Christ is a life-giving spirit (1Corinthians 15:45).
The Last Adam which is Christ came to switch things for the benefit of mankind
(Romans 5:17).
Jesus Christ brought righteousness to the believers that we
might reign in life. Your reigning in life is connected to the gift of
righteousness. Eternal life swallows all evil. The arrival of eternal life in
you is the exit of all bad life around you. Reigning in life is not possible
without righteousness. To be born in Christ is to be born in righteousness. You
come to God through the righteousness of one (Jesus Christ). Christ reversed
whatever Adam did.
Christ had a total
conquest over Satan. Through redemption, Jesus had complete victory over Satan.
Through his blood which signifies His life, Jesus legally brought man back to
God. No one could attain righteousness by good deeds. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says,
‘For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him’.
Righteousness means having a right standing
with God. Anyone who believes in the redemptive work of Christ is declared
righteousness. Righteousness is not obtained by observance of the law but by
faith in the finished work on the Cross of Calvary. Anyone who believes in
Jesus Christ and accepts Him as the Lord and Saviour has eternal life.
INSTRUCTION:Know when to switch your
dual capacity. Live in God’s plan for your life.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive divine understanding to
operate in the realm you have ordained for me in Jesus Name.
QUOTE: Adam and Christ are the two players that
determine the course of human life.
