God legally destroyed DEATH!

1. Death's Power.  The first promise God gave to man was a promise of death.  Genesis 2:15 "Then the Lord took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.  And the Lord God commanded the man saying, 'of every tree in the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die".  Unusual as it may seem God gave a word, a promise to Adam that death would surely follow disobedience. But when God created death IT HAD NO POWER.  Adam would have never tasted death if he would have just obeyed God's word.  Death was created by God without power.  The only thing that could enforce it's power would be if Adam ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam did eat and God was obligated to justly keep His word.  God cannot deny Himself. He exalts His word above His name!  He is faithful to Himself and always keeps His word.  So Adam died...that day that he ate along with Eve.  That death was separation from God's presence even though Adam physically lived over 900 years.  But that death was from the daily fellowship of the Father walking with His created man and women in the garden. Death is separation. Spiritual death is man's separation from God's presence.  Physical death is the separation of man's spirit and soul from his body. Adam's sin empowered death's sentence... justice prevailed.

2. Death's Provision.  Leviticus says, "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin."  The only way to removed sin's power was through the shedding of blood... or death itself.  "And the Word (Jesus ) was made flesh."  John 1:14  Jesus had to become flesh to legally removed death's power!   Romans 5:21 "So that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Jesus must bear in His own body the full payment of all mankind's sin and sickness.  When Jesus cried out on the cross, "It is finished", He was declaring that the full legal payment was now made in His body of flesh through the shedding of His blood... sin's power was broken... so death's power was again powerless.  Jesus obedience removed sin's penalty and the power of death was broken. What the first Adam lost, the last Adam reclaimed!  Now we can live our "Eternal life" even before we pass from this earth... Oh the grace of God!  Jesus said, "He that hath the Son, hath eternal life abiding in him already." Are you afraid of death? Then you still under it's sting!  Get set free through the liberty that Christ brings.  receive Him today and believe that He is that eternal life you are looking for.
