God stripped Satan of his power and said, "Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Luke 10:19) Also: )27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: )28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:2 7 & 28) There is only one faith, one Lord, one baptism, and only one God. And that God is the Father of all, through all, in all and above all. )5 "One Lord, one faith, one baptism, )6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all "(Ephesians 4:5 & 6) God's plan is fail proof, faultless, it is flawless, and it is blemish free. There was only one way for the second Adam - Jesus Christ to get into death. He had to go into death and it was impossible for God, the Spirit,( who is also the LORD), to die. He was there when the nails were driven, but it was not possible for Him to die. Adam the second could not die. The only way that Jesus could die was to become a sinner or become sin. But Jesus was not a sinner. God the Father's law which was called the law of sin and death which had passed on the whole world through Adam' s sin in the garden, was not applicable to Jesus because he was not a sinner. The sting of death is sin and He, "Jesus," has taken away the sting of death for us by His own sacrifice. But He who knew no sin, became sin in order to win us back to God. )55 "0 death, where is thy sting? 0 grave, where is thy victory? )56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. )57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Corinthians 15:55-5 7) |
