The empty tomb proved that there is no power greater than the power of God. A power that is greater than the early powers and elements of this world. It’s the same power whereby the heavens and the earth and all there is within were created. No power and no might can withstand the power and greatness of our Almighty God. Even death, that reigns and manifests in many lives, was not strong enough. The death wasn’t strong enough to hold Jesus in the grave, whereby death lost its power, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus rose from the dead with the keys of hell and death, and left an empty tomb, where death had no legal right anymore.
The legal right of death and hell
Death and hell thought they had a legal right to Jesus’ life (suflet), and they did, after God put all the sins and iniquities of the world upon His Son Jesus and Jesus carried them in His flesh that was nailed on the cross.
Din cauza asta, Jesus entered hell (Hades) and made His grave with the wicked and the rich (Isaia 53:4-12; Matei 12:14, Evrei 2:7-18).
in orice caz, the death and hell couldn’t keep Jesus there.
The power of God was greater than the power of death and hell that had a right to fallen man.
God showed His almighty power through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
God manifested His power in Jesus through His obedience to the Father until His death. Jesus lives by the power of God (Oh. romani 5:19; 2 Corinteni 13:4, Evrei 5; 1 Petru 1:2-5).
Through the resurrection from the dead, God showed His Majesty and power, and that every power and principality is under His feet.
No power is greater and mightier than the power and might of God. De -a lungul Bibliei, God’s power is revealed
God’s power is a victorious power that doesn’t accept defeat
God’s power is a victorious power that doesn’t compromise and doesn’t accept defeat. It’s a power that works by faith and obedience, but turns against unbelief and disobedience.
God’s power rewards people: He blesses the righteous and good, but punishes the sinner and evil (păcat), as is written in the Bible and revealed through His Word.
In all three dispensations, the power of God is revealed through the Father, fiul (Cuvântul viu), și Duhul Sfânt.
God’s power is revealed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the salvation of man
God showed and still shows that no power is greater than His power. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead showed that no power is greater than God’s power. Even death and hell, that have a right to fallen man, were not strong enough to keep the victory over the body of Christ.
Diavolul, who had the power over death, and hell lost their authority to Jesus, Who was greater and mightier than they through God’s power.
Și acesta este încă cazul. Deoarece, from the resurrection of Jesus Christ, where the empty tomb and the many appearances of Jesus after His death were proof, the death and hell lost their right to many souls, who by faith and regeneration in Jesus Christ, Fiul lui Dumnezeu, were born again and obey Him.
The souls that lived under the authority of the devil in darkness and were bound to death and hell through the sinful flesh were delivered by Jesus Christ, cel Autorul mântuirii eterne, and saved from the judgment and wrath of God that shall come over His adversaries. (Oh. Isaia 59; 61:13; Efeseni 2; 2 Timotei 2:25-26; Evrei 5:9; 10:26-32; 12:1-2).
That is the power of the new birth in Christ!
From the moment of the new birth, the soul is no longer controlled by the death and hell, but the redeemed and sanctified soul (de sângele lui Isus) shall come under the authority of God and be controlled by the Word and the Holy Spirit, Who abides in the noua creatie. (Oh. Ioan 14:17; 15:1-10; romani 8:10-17; 2 Corinteni 5:14-21; Efeseni 5:18; Filipeni 3:9; 1 Ioan 2-3).
What does this mean for you?
You were death to God, your spirit was under the authority of the devil, and you lived in the bondage of death and hell.
The death reigned in your life, death flowed through your veins, și ca urmare, you lived in rebellion towards God and bore the fruit of death, care este păcatul.
Sin proved that the devil, who had the power over death, was your master.
You were bound to death from the day you were born and believed the lies of his master, diavolul, whereby you lived in neascultarea de Dumnezeu.
Until you heard the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the light of the gospel enlightened your mind and revealed your evil nature and fallen state, and you repented of your sins and iniquities.
You believed and repented
You repented of your walk in darkness and of all your unbelief, trespasses, and disobedience to God and decided to turn your life around and believe Jesus Christ and follow Him.
That was your answer to the chemare la pocăinţă and the gift of salvation through the message of the living gospel.
That was your promise to God: a separation from the world through the death of the sinful flesh and the putting away of the works of the flesh and through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead, enter into a covenant with God through His Son Jesus Christ, that is sealed with His blood, and receive the promise of the Holy Spirit.
You were baptized into the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
And so you believed and were baptized into Christ, into His death and resurrection from the dead, whereby your flesh died and your spirit was raised from the dead, and you were delivered from the power of the devil, păcatul și moartea (Oh. romani 6; Galateni 3:26-29; Coloseni 1:12-14; Filipeni 3:9-10).
Din acel moment, diavolul, păcat, and death lost their right and power over your life. You were delivered and set free by the power of God.
Hell lost again a soul to Jesus, Who poured out His own soul into death, to release the prisoners of death and hell.
În Hristos, you were made righteous by His blood, whereby you could receive the other Comforter, Sfantul Duh, Whom the world can’t receive, only those who broke their covenant with death and their agreement with hell through the blood of Jesus Christ and are born of God and belong to Him and obey Him.
The Holy Spirit shall always be with you and abide in you.
Căci dacă am fost plantați împreună după asemănarea morții sale, Vom fi, de asemenea, în asemănarea învierii sale: Știind acest lucru, că bătrânul nostru este răstignit cu el, ca trupul păcatului să fie distrus, că de acum nu ar trebui să servim păcatul. Căci cel care este mort este eliberat de păcat. Căci cel care este mort este eliberat de păcat. Acum dacă suntem morți cu Hristos, Credem că vom trăi și cu El: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; Moartea nu mai are stăpânire asupra lui. Căci în asta a murit, El a murit la păcat odată: dar în asta trăiește, El trăiește către Dumnezeu. De asemenea, credeți că voi înșivă pentru a fi mort într -adevăr pentru păcat, dar viu pentru Dumnezeu prin Isus Hristos Domnul nostru
romani 6:5-11
You received the baptism with the Holy Spirit
And so you received the baptism with the Holy Spirit, which proved that you were born of God, cleansed and made holy and righteous and belonged to the Almighty God.
No longer did the death reign in your life and flow through your veins, but the life did.
You were raised in newness of life and the life of God flows through your veins.
Prin urmare, you shall no longer serve sin through the flesh but righteousness through the spirit that is redeemed from hell and raised from the dead by the power of God.
That almighty power, which is the greatest power on earth, manifested in God’s Son and in all God’s sons (Atât bărbații, cât și femeile) that are born again in God’s Son and are His witnesses and obey Him.
God’s power left an empty tomb and plunders hell
God’s power left an empty tomb and plunders hell, where souls are bound to death.
During life on earth, people are bound by the devil, death and hell or bound by Christ, who has the keys of death and hell, and the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus Christ is the way to eternal life!
Only through Jesus Christ can people be saved from the judgment of God and delivered from the power of the devil and darkness.
Prin urmare, crede, pocăi, and be baptized into His death and become a partaker of His resurrection through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead.
Let God break you free from the chains of death and hell and the legea păcatului și a morții that reigns in the sinful flesh.
Arise by the power of God and awake to righteousness and walk in obedience to God.
Arise and walk away from the tomb and never return.
„Fii sarea pământului’
