Soul Then Spirit

1 Corinthians 15:45-49 NIV
So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became A living soul.” The last Adam became a life- giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

1 Corinthians 15:50
50 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Though the first Adam was in the Garden, he was not able to eat from the tree of life. He was created a living soul with the breath of God, but he did not fulfill the word of God.

A seed from the tree of life fell to the earth and grows in the soil where it finds welcome. The perishable becomes heir to the imperishable, and we will be like him.
