The Last Adam

1 Corinthians 15:45, "So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit."
Paul is referring to Jesus being the last Adam. Jesus brought an end to the man-made concept of the curse with His death and resurrection.
Paul continued in 15:56-57, "The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks to God, who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Jesus is our prototype. As He is in this world, so also are we. The remainder of 1 Corinthians 15 describes the order of resurrection and how God (Christ consciousness) will be all in all.
