It was not just the perfect flesh of Adam,
At the beginning, who sinned and died,
But his uncreated earthly spirit that
refused to be perfected when he lied. When Adam lived
on earth he rejected,
Disciplines needed to inherit the heavenly way.
Long after Adam's failure, the Lord
provided a new and Spirit-created "Way". Now while
we live in inherited sinful flesh,
By Christ's subjection of us we may succeed,
In acquiring the everlasting portion afresh,
A perfected spirit by means of him our need.
Of course, The Creator in His wisdom knew,
That uncreated Adam would surely fail,
But we are Spirit-created in obedience to
The Christ, though in affliction we now ail.
When inherited sin is justifiably removed,
And in immortal life our spirits placed,
Our loyalty to God shall then be proved,
And unlike Adam not in flesh debased. A
mortal can't gain immortality,
God's purpose is for spirits to be created,
A human's earthly life is not the reality,
Nor is physical indulgence unabated.
