Robert Trail on 1 Cor. 15:45, “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” The First Adam, however generative he was in the procreation of all mankind by the longsuffering of God, nevertheless only imparted temporal life, blighted by the curse. He gave life that was as good as dead. But the Second Adam was not so. While he took no wife and bore no physical seed before being “cut off out of the land of the living” (Isa. 53:8), He generated a world teeming with spiritual, indeed, eternal life! Let us circumcise the flesh, cutting off all confidence in man’s powers, relying wholly on Christ, the Second Adam.
