Introduction

In the eternal struggle between divine and Adamic nature, the story of Adam’s fall marks the genesis of humanity’s inner conflict. The contrast between God’s perfection and the flawed nature inherited by mortals unfolds through the lens of the spirit. Let’s examine the layers of Adamic tendencies and uncover the pathway towards embracing the divine.

Understanding Adam’s Original State

Adam was the first creature to unlock the mystery of God’s divine nature. He was pure from the source. He was perfectly holy, perfectly wise, perfectly intelligent, perfectly excellent and perfectly limitless. He had perfect access into divine revelations in his originally uncorrupted state. He named all animals and birds without a single error. After the disconnection from God’s divine nature, he became corrupted and was evicted from the space of honour.

That was the point we all, as mortals, missed it and inherited what we now refer to as Adamic nature. We lost the nature of God and we were left with the nature of the earth. The nature that is prone to error, terror and death.
Adam lost paradise because he disobeyed the orders of God. But, how did disobedience find its way into the original nature that was regarded as perfect to have contemplated a cover-up?

Can a perfect man become vulnerable to rebellion? The answer is: Perfect or not, the mortal man is at liberty to make choices that are considered suitable for him or her. That is why we are faced with choices between life and death as free moral agents.

What is Adamic Nature?

1.  The nature of a man with the biological birth only. Gen 4:1-10, 25-26. The process of procreation that is made possible between a married man and woman is described as biological birth. This mystery has been abused by several children who are being produced from immoral relationships today.

2.  The carnal nature: Rom 8:5-8. Carnality is described as the work of the flesh or actions that are evil-inclined. Activities of depravity and debasing character. The fallen state of man cannot live a righteous life. The carnal man is sinful by default!

3.  The nature that is prone to willful disobedience. Every mortal is faced with the tendency to be rebellious from the Adamic DNA. The only way to be free from such a disobedient way of life is to be delivered by the blood of Jesus. (John 14:15, Deut 11:26-28)

4.  The nature that is usually, constantly attracted to sin. The fallen nature of man is so depraved that he or she readily desires to sin. People tell lies at will. They kill without any feeling of guilt. They betray naturally and cheat others with a feeling of satisfaction. (2Peter 2:114). Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied.

5.  The nature that gives excuses to defend sin. (Gen 3:12-19). The nature of Adam is such that has enough defenses for doing the wrong thing. Men, today commit sexual sin with lesser animals. They marry non-living objects and tell society that they are just expressing their inner feelings. Adamic nature is really crazy and disgusting.

6.  The nature of Adam loves to resist spiritual deliverance. They don’t want to be freed from the bondage of darkness. The demons that held the man possessed with legions in the cemetery captive resisted Jesus at first contact. (Acts 13:8-52) (1Thess 2:18), (2Tim 4:15).

7.  The nature of Adam believers in self-management. Despite the consciousness of nakedness, yet they went ahead to make clothes of leaves that could not cover them properly (2 Tim 1:7).

8.  Adamic nature hates discipline and self-control. Prov 12:1 says: “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates discipline despises himself”, whoever hates reproof and correction is stupid. There is a high level of defiance today such that values have been badly fragmented. Evil is the new style in our society.

9.  Adamic nature lives under the curse of the law. If a cursed man or woman is not redeemed by Christ, such a person will ultimately perish. Curse has the potential to set a limit on any mortal man. (Gal 3:13).

10.  Those who live under the dictates of the Adamic nature prefer darkness rather than light. (John 3:19). Those who live by the rules of darkness do not want to come close to light so that their evil works will not be exposed.

11.  A man who is ruled by Adamic nature is always too confident in a state of temporary comfort. They feed themselves into stupor. They are driven by the desires of their flesh. It is always flesh first. Gehazi was too mindful of the flesh, hence, he lost a priceless privilege to succeed Elisha. (2 Kgs 5:20-27)

12.  The Adamic nature always promotes the physical above the spiritual. They want to be seen everywhere taking the glory for everything. They take care of their physical lives at the expense of the spiritual.

The Transition from Adamic Nature to Divine Nature

Adamic nature is naturally and favourably disposed to sin. The choice to sin flows unhindered from the spirit of Adam immediately after his fall. Adam became carnal and lost contact with his maker. To be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. The general verdict of God against Adam and every other mortal is death. No mortal man will see eternal life without a taste of natural death.

It is the death of Jesus that served as a divine neutralizer for natural death. His death made useless the Adamic death.  Adamic type of death is in two layers: the physical death and the spiritual death. Jesus took care of the spiritual while the physical death is left to serve as the gateway to life. Nobody can be free from Adamic nature without a deliberate cry for salvation from sin through the atoning death of Jesus and his resurrection.

At that point, such a person will begin to experience:
1.  Pure Spiritual life
2.  Operates under the law of the spirit of life
3.  Transformational life
4.  Resistant to darkness
5.  Loves God without reservation
6.  Born by the Spirit and the word
7.  Exercise dominion over human and demonic limitations.

Conclusion

As we journey through the dichotomy of divine and Adamic nature, the key lies in acknowledging our choices. Despite the inherent inclination towards error and rebellion, the call to transition from Adamic to divine nature is clear. Through the redemptive power of Jesus, one can break free from the shackles of Adamic tendencies, stepping into a realm of pure spiritual life, transformation, and dominion over limitations. The battle within finds resolution in the embrace of the divine, presenting hope for a superior existence beyond the constraints of Adamic nature.
