1Cor 15:48 Cross References

1 Corinthians 15:48

48: Every human being has an earthly body just like Adam's, but our heavenly bodies will be just like Christ's.

When Adam was 130 years old, his son Seth was born, and Seth was the very image of his father.

But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.
He will take these weak mortal bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same mighty power that he will use to conquer everything, everywhere.

When Adam sinned, sin entered the entire human race. Adam's sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. And though there was no law to break, since it had not yet been given,
they all died anyway--even though they did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. What a contrast between Adam and Christ, who was yet to come!
And what a difference between our sin and God's generous gift of forgiveness. For this one man, Adam, brought death to many through his sin. But this other man, Jesus Christ, brought forgiveness to many through God's bountiful gift.
And the result of God's gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man's sin. For Adam's sin led to condemnation, but we have the free gift of being accepted by God, even though we are guilty of many sins.

Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven.

So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, Adam, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man, Christ.
Everyone dies because all of us are related to Adam, the first man. But all who are related to Christ, the other man, will be given new life.
