This expanded table highlights several important spiritual points:

1. Christ's dual role: First becoming flesh to accomplish redemption, then becoming the life-giving Spirit through resurrection.
2. The transformation of Christ's body: From a soulish body to a spiritual body through resurrection.
3. The union of believers with Christ: Through faith, believers are united with Christ as the life-giving Spirit.
4. The process of transformation in believers' lives: Their spirit is enlivened, resurrected with Christ, and ultimately their body will also become spiritual.
5. The key roles of Adam and Christ in human history: Adam as the progenitor of natural humanity, Christ as the progenitor of spiritual humanity.

This comparison not only demonstrates the comprehensiveness of Christ's redemptive work but also illustrates the new life that believers receive in Christ and their future hope.
