"Quickening Spirit"
"And so it was written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam was made a quickening spirit."
1 Corinthians 15:45
- Name of God the Son
- Jesus is referred to as a "quickening spirit" once in the KJV.
- The term quicken means "to come alive" or "to receive life." It also means "to revive," which reminds us that eternal life was the original design for humanity.
- In this verse, Paul differentiated between the natural man, Adam, and the spiritual man, Jesus. Through his creation, Adam received life and lived out his days. Jesus came as the source of life. He lived out His days- and then continued to live on. And this was the gift he brought for all who believe.
Try as they might, scientist can't shock inert cells into life. And, despite the best efforts and beliefs of "mad scientist," lightning only destroys. God, and only God, is the Quickening Spirit that gives life.
Jesus made it simple. He came to quicken a new kind of life in those who believe, a life that doesn't require lightning or science- only faith. And the life HE gives us will never end!
