'Father, give us this day the life which is supersubstantial to the life of our natural world and mere physical state of existence.' Jesus exhibited this Life when He resurrected from death of the body. He Lives by That Life, the supersubstantial Life which flows from an alive Spirit to the behavior mechanism and body physical.

Jesus taught His disciples that a human spirit can be active but lack 'aliveness'. His comment to aloow 'the dead go bury the dead' IMHO was a significant clue that a youngman could be alive in body and behavior mechanism but lacking Life in his spirit. And that is the natural state of humankind since Adam sold out his posterity. But Jesus, as God with us, has redeemed Adam's posterity, and that 'soterizing' goes all the way back to Adam, if each individually believes on Him Whom God has sent to redeem us.

What Adam lost was the supersubstantial Life which set Adam and Eve apart from all other life on Earth, a Life status which can be restored through The Grace of God in Christ, reconciling us to Him.

Romans 8:10-1110 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
