1 Corinthians
15:44-46 (Amplified Bible)
44-It is sown a natural
(physical) body; it is raised a supernatural (a spiritual) body.
[As surely as] there is a physical body, there is also a
spiritual body.
45-Thus
it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an
individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a
life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life].(A)
46-But
it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the
physical and then the spiritual.
In Reality there has just
been two men an old man and a new man.
The First Adam and
the Last Adam: you may multiply these men by
billions, but you will still have just two
men.
To better understand this I
have made this diagram:

The Old Creation is
divided up into various religions black, white, red,
yellow, male, female, Jew and Gentile.

The New Creation is
(neither-nor) black nor white red nor yellow male nor
female, Jew nor Gentile.

At the cross: Jesus
brought an end to an old creation. He did not patch it up to
make it better, but He ended it. He destroyed the devil, took
away sin, then satisfied heaven. This is what it means to pass
from death into life, from an Old Covenant of flesh into a New
Covenant of Spirit.
I encourage you to begin to live in the reality of the New Creation by believing in the power of the cross, and accepting your death there.

Arise and possess
His life and find the power of His resurrection.
Col. 3:1-----Since then you have been raised with Christ, set your heart on things above; where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Col. 3:1-----Since then you have been raised with Christ, set your heart on things above; where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
V-2----- Set your minds on things
above; not on earthly things.
V-3-----For you died, and your life
is now hid with Christ in God.
V-4-----When Christ who is our life
appears, then we will also appear with Him in Glory.
