The Believer's Pedigree
1 Corinthians 15:47-49
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.…


1. On the one side traced to Adam who is of the earth — on the other to Christ who is the Lord from heaven.

2. On the one side he derives an earthly nature, on the other a heavenly.

3. On the one side he is stamped with the features of the earthy, on the other with those of the heavenly.

4. On the one side he can claim no inheritance in the kingdom of God, on the other becomes heir of all things.

(J. Lyth, D.D.)
