(Have No Fear Of Death)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 15:26
“The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.”

LET’S TALK
There’s something important I want you to notice in Paul’s words from the theme verse. He didn’t say, “The last enemy that shall be defeated is death.” Instead, he used the word destroyed. That’s because death has already been defeated—but it hasn’t been completely wiped out yet.

Since that’s the case, why are so many people still afraid of death? The answer is in Hebrews 2:14-15: “

Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”

The Lord Jesus’ sacrifice rendered ineffective the devil’s power over death! Satan no longer has any power—he just uses deception as a strategy to make people afraid.

Fear keeps people in bondage; it makes them hesitate, doubt, and even hold back from fulfilling their purpose.

But thanks be unto God; Jesus completely delivered humanity from the power of death. As a Christian, you don’t have to fear death anymore. Jesus Himself said in Revelation 1:18:
” I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”

You’ve passed from death to life. You’re in the arena of life. This isn’t a promise. Physical death is the result of spiritual death. If there is no spiritual death in you, there ought not to be physical death in you.

John reiterated the same words in his epistle when he said, “We know that we have passed from death to life…” (1 John 3:14). Hallelujah!

Always remember, the devil has nothing—death, sickness, weakness, feebleness—in you just like Jesus said in John 14:30: ” I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.”

Ezekiel 2:2; John 14:16-17; John 16:13; Romans 8:14

Pray:
Blessed be God for the victory over death that we have in Christ. The life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of Jesus Christ my Lord, who loved me and gave Himself for me! I live fearlessly, knowing that I have passed from death to life. The God-life in me makes me supernatural and impregnable to sickness, disease, failure, death and the devil. Hallelujah!
