So the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit. But we should notice that the order is “natural” first and then “spiritual”. The first man came out of the earth, a material creature.

So that just as we have been made like the material pattern, so we shall be made like the Heavenly pattern.

In the same way that we’ve worked from our earthy origins, let’s embrace our heavenly ends.
