Man before he was this man, he was a spirit man. God made the first man in His Own image. How many says that’s right? Well, what kind of a image has God got? He’s a Spirit, is that right? So He made a Spirit man ’fore He made a flesh man. Then He put man in five senses to contact his earthly home. He might’ve give him hands like a monkey, and foot like a bear, I don’t know. But anyhow, that wasn’t the image of God. God’s a Spirit. But then God came down and was made in the image of man to redeem man back to Himself when He was made flesh and dwelled among us. And we go right out of this redeemed life, from this redeemed life into that immortal life again in the supernatural body, then back into flesh again, just like God, bring us right back to the garden of Eden again, just the same thing.
