<p>15:22- see on Jn. 5:21.</p><p><i>For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive</i>- &quot;In&quot; Christ speaks of baptism into Him and abiding in Him. All in Him shall be made alive; which makes being in Him by baptism a requirement for salvation. I noted on :20 that the language of resurrection used here is not only limited to the resurrection of the body at the last day. We are to be &quot;made alive&quot; right now by the Spirit; for the Lord Jesus is a life giving Spirit right now to those who will accept it (:45). The &quot;spiritual&quot; state spoken of in :46 is true in some sense for us now who have received the Spirit; hence Paul's lament that the Corinthians were not &quot;spiritual&quot; when they ought to have been (3:1). The Lord had taught that &quot;it is the Spirit that makes alive&quot; and thus guarantees our bodily resurrection (Jn. 5:21; 6:63 s.w. &quot;be made alive&quot;). It is the same Spirit of Christ which now dwells in us which shall also be the means whereby our bodies are made alive at the last day (Rom. 8:11 is explicit about this). The Lord Himself was made alive by the Spirit (1 Pet. 3:18). So we can see how it was in fact logical that people who refused to accept the work of the Spirit within them would come to reject the idea of bodily resurrection. In this sense, &quot;the Spirit gives life&quot;, right now, once we have rejected the way of legalism which &quot;kills&quot; (2 Cor. 3:6). Our Spirit is to become the Lord's Spirit; our essential personality must therefore be immortalized, and this therefore requires the resurrection of the body. For we personally shall be saved.</p>
