Q: "The breath of God made man a living soul and what does the Spirit of Christ signify for a believer?"
A: We shall consider the context first. "In the vision of John we read of the Lamb and we are examining him as existing in the divine Will. "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."(Re.5:6) How the world unseen shall be made to appear is what we shall see as the result of breaking open the seven seals. Compare with Prophet Zachariah whose vision is further in time and the apostasy of the nation of Israel has become established. Instead of the Lamb it is a stone we are looking at." behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch./For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes." The seven horns indicate the Law of the Spirit and the seven eyes have set the entire earth under his watch.
God in making Adam is making every believer a living soul. Adam is created 'after our image" as well as "after our likeness" By the latter it is established the last Adam is after the likeness of the Word made flesh. First Adam is earthy while Jesus Christ is the Lord from heaven. Fall of the first Adam brought death upon the world,"and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." It is to which Jesus alluded in his colloquy with Nicodemus. He to be born again. He used the analogy of wind. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth."( John 3:8). In order to make the Spirit of Christ as personal faith is crucial. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."(Ro.10:9-10). Without abiding in Christ the wind is no man's land.Ro.8:9-10
