1 Corinthians 15:45-49 ESV
Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.
As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.
Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
The first Adam was formed from the dust of the earth. He was made in the image of God, but did not have the life of God. It might be said he was not yet fully the creature God intended him to be.
The last Adam would be the life and light of men. As children of the light, we shall bear the image of the man of heaven.
