Adam was created the pinnacle of God s creation, a god of flesh in whom was constituted all the rest of nature. Adam was set on the summit of Paradise, but due to his incalculably huge fall from that pinnacle, he and all creation became subject to corruption. The world and all that was in it will eventually die as did the body of Adam. God s mercy, however, through the incarnation, passion and death of His Son, will restore everything to a state even better than the original making it possible for Adam and the rest of creation to be reconstituted in a spiritual, incorruptible form that will exist eternally in the unending light of Christ.
