Adam is being used as an example here in 1st Corinthians 15 is because chapter 15 is teaching the doctrine of the resurrection
And in order to understand it
Clearly he's using Adam and Jesus Christ as an example of what they were as a body
Adam was a was a living soul. Jesus Christ was a quickening spear
Why because flesh and blood should not inherit the kingdom of God you see as a person our life is found in our blood
But
The Bible tells us that when we die, we're not gonna have the same body when we're resurrected. It's gonna be changed
Okay, and the life that's now gonna cause this body to live is not gonna be the blood. It's gonna be the spirit
Okay
Look what it says in verse 45 and so it is written the first man Adam was made a living soul
The last Adam was made a quickening spirit
How be it that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural and after that which is spiritual
so it even gives the the the
The sequence of order there. Okay, just as Adam came first and then Jesus Christ so it is with us
You know, we're born a physical body with flesh and blood
But when we get saved and when we die
We're gonna be made a quickening spirit as well verse 47 says the first man is of the earth earthy
The second man is the Lord from heaven as is the earthy such are they also that are earthy
And as is the heavenly such are they also that are heavenly and as we have borne the image of the earthy
We shall also bear the image of the heavenly
so it's trying to get us a picture here of what the resurrection is gonna be like cuz
You know, everyone always wonders it. What did Adam look like? Well, I think he just looked like us
Probably different skin tone. I don't know don't ask me if he had a belly button. I have no idea
But he probably looked like us. Okay, just different hair color
But he looked like us and why because we're bearing the image of the earthy
We're bearing the image of that man Adam and then it says we shall also bear the image of the heavenly in reference to the glorified
State after we resurrect verse 50 says now this I say brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God
neither does corruption inherit in
Corruption so this is talking about the resurrection and the pictures are perfectly and he uses Adam as a reference to how we look now
Jesus Christ how we will look in the future
