Death vs Life


For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
[Romans 8:2 KJV]

In Romans 8:2 we see the two spiritual laws of life and death in operation. The following charts show each law and it's results. As you can see, they are complete opposites. The boundary line between them was crossed only one time-when Jesus offered Himself as the Supreme sacrifice to purchase our freedom from every part of the curse.

SATAN                                             JESUS          


  1. The law of sin                           The law of the
and death                                  Spirit of life
(the curse)                                  (the blessing)
                                                                                

  2. Fear                                                Faith
                                                                                

3. Sin & Death              Life & Righteousness
                                                                                

4. Sickness & disease         Healing & Divine-                                                              Health
                                                                                

5. Poverty                             Prosperity
                                                                                

6. Worry & Anxiety            The Peace of God
                                                                                

7. Hate                                    Love
                                                                                

8. Demons                              Angelic Powers
                                                                                

The price that Jesus paid was two-fold. He came, not only to destroy the works of the devil, but also to deliver us from the fear of death and the bondage it brings. Look at [Hebrews 2:14-15]

 Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of
the same; that through death he
might destroy him that had the
power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

The phrase fear of death is a result of 
the law of sin and death. The word 
destroy in the original text means “to 
paralyze.” Jesus came for two reasons:

1. to completely paralyze Satan 
who had the power of death

2. to deliver us who through 
fear of death were held subject 
to bondage

We have not been given the spirit
of bondage again to fear. Fear pro-
duces bondage. Jesus came to break
the power of that bondage! How? By
stopping the force of fear. Praise God!

In order for the power of death to
ever be broken, Jesus had to absorb
all the curse of the law, both in the
spiritual realm and in the physical
realm. He bore all the physical curse at Calvary. All the demons of hell
came against Him to annihilate Him.
They wanted to torment Jesus forever
and keep Him in bondage forever,
thereby keeping God from ever hav­ing contact with mankind again. Satan
could then rule and reign on this earth
as he pleased with no restrictions or
qualifications whatsoever. But God
had something else in mind!
[Hebrews 2:14] says through death He (Jesus) 
destroyed him (Satan) that had the
power of death.

When the price was paid, God
breathed the breath of life into Jesus,
and the law of the Spirit of life was set
into motion for mankind. Because He
did all that for you and me, we can
live free! We can know beyond doubt
that the law of the Spirit of life in
Christ Jesus has made us free from
the law of sin and death!

BEHOLDING IS BECOMING (PART - 1)

BEHOLDING IS BECOMING (PART - 1) FACE TO FACE  In GODS sovereign plan HE designed us to live in HIS presence, and be filled with HIS very presence, and from that place we shine with HIS glory in all we are and all we do. We are created for face-to-face encounters with GOD. Imagine the first time Adam opened his eyes at the very instance GOD breathed on his nostrils the breath of Life. In a moment, He saw the face of GOD shining in glory right in front of him! Just imagine, as he was gazing upon HIS face, all that GOD is...HIS love, power, goodness, majesty, perfection, and glory inundated him and every fiber of his being pulsated with divine life. Literally, Adam was saturated with GOD. He was soaked in glory!  This is a beautiful picture of what face-to-face with GOD looks like. This encounter was not just for Adam exclusively, but it is for the rest of mankind as well. In GOD'S sovereign plan, HE designed us, HIS Masterpiece, to live in HIS presence, in the place...

NO PHYSICAL DEATH

 No Physical Death Let ‘s start with the quote “As He is, so are we in Christ” which indicates the immortality of human life. According to the Word, we should be the reflection of His image. Which means, if Christ can’t die, so we should be. Then, what does death mean to us? Origin of Death: “Romans 5.12(KJV)”- Wherefore, as by one-man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so, death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned The verse convey’ s that DEATH entered the world through SIN. “Romans 6.2-11(KJV)”- 2 How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrec...

Identity in CHRIST - Part 2 ( Crucified with CHRIST)

Crucified with CHRIST Galatians 2:20 When Paul said, "I have been crucified with CHRIST," it meant he had been judged, condemned, cast out, stripped naked, and nailed to the Cross. The very thought of crucifixion to a Jew, and especially to a Pharisee, brought a sense of shame and horror. When Saul of Tarsus identified himself with the Man, JESUS, accepted HIM as his SAVIOR, and confessed HIM as his LORD, that moment he became a crucified man to the Jewish people. He became an outcast. No wonder he said in Gal. 6:14 that the world had been crucified unto him, and he had been crucified unto the world.  The world had been stripped naked to Paul. There was no longer any delusionin regard to it. He could no longer be deceived. He knew its cruelty. He had felt its lash upon his back.  He remembered the stoning that had left him unconscious. He remembered that in every place he went, he faced the anger, bitterness, and jealousy of men.  He had been stripped naked ...
