Romans 8:10

“But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.”

In our present existence, our natural body is slowly decaying; every day brings us closer to the end. Adam’s body was created immortal, but became mortal at the Fall because of sin. Everyone, having descended from Adam, has inherited the same kind of mortal body – prone to disease, easily injured, growing old, losing strength. In addition, his spirit was separated from God, the source of spiritual life. All of us are born into this same state, both physically and spiritually. All of us will die physically, but we have a choice as to whether we will endure the ‘second death’ – eternal separation from God. We will not endure this if we are born again by the Spirit of God.
If we are only born once, we will die twice. But if we are born twice, we will only die once.
For those of us who have been born again, we have been made spritiually alive by the power of God. We have regained the connection with God that He created Adam with, and intended for all people to have before the Fall. At the end of the day, this spiritual life is the only life that matters. Who wants to be stuck in their physical body for eternity? And, “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?” (Luke 9:25). Have you got your eternal priorities in order?
