"But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven."
There is no disputing that we are dust. Our predecessors all lived their lives and died. After death (with the exception of the occasional ice man), they all decomposed, returning to dust. But that is not all that awaits us. If we, though faith in Christ, are of heaven, then we will follow Him in victory over death. "We shall also bear the image of the man of heaven."
