names of God: Quickening Spirit by ric gustafson
I Corinthians 15:45- ' the last Adam was made a quickening spirit'
This term refers to God the Son. The word quicken means to come alive or to receive life. Quicken also means to revive and reminds us of eternal life. Paul in this passage talks about Adam the natural man and Jesus the spiritual man. Adam lived out his days and Jesus came as the source of life. Jesus comes as the Quickening Spirit to give us a new kind of life. This life through Jesus only requires faith and the life he gives last for eternity.
