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

We follow this sequence in Scripture: The First Adam received life, the Last Adam is a life-giving Spirit. Physical life comes first, then spiritual—a firm base shaped from the earth, a final completion coming out of heaven.

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