He cut off Adam’s life as your source at
Calvary. Then, when you were re-created in Christ, God gave you a new
life—Christ as life.
Eternal life is not a mere extension of
your life. Eternal life is Christ Himself (1 John 1:1-2). Adam is no longer
your spiritual ancestor—Christ is. You’ve been spiritually reborn from Christ’s
spirit “gene pool,” to use a metaphor. You now have not only a new spiritual
present and future, but a new spiritual past!
Christ, not Adam, is now and always will be
your spiritual Ancestor. Everything that happened to Christ on the cross
happened to you because you were in Him. “He chose us in Him before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him” (Ephesians 1:4).
