More Than Conquerors Volume 2

As we understand our position in Christ Jesus, we will continue to understand what makes us more than conquerors. Jesus conquered death on the cross and His loving Father raised Him back to life in three days. This act did not happen because it was simply a miracle produced out of thin air. The bible states that the wages of sin is death. When Adam was created, his life was never meant to end. God intended to dwell with Adam for eternity in the Garden of Eden. When Adam ate the fruit from the “tree of knowledge”, it allowed death to enter into the earth through his sin and therefore produced a separation from God’s Will. God stated after the separation that Adam could not eat from the “tree of life”, which produces eternal life. In our perfect Lord, He lived a life that was sinless and which was purely according to the Will of the Father. First of all, He was not produced of incorruptible seed as coming through Adam, as we all have. Jesus like Adam was produced from God Himself and took on the likeness of fallen man. Death could not hold Jesus because death could not make the case that Jesus sinned and should be keep in that place. Through Jesus’ obedience to the Father, He defeated the one law that stills governs the earth today which is, everything that has life must die someday. When we gave our lives to Christ we experienced that death and through His Life we have defeated death once and for all as He did!!! Today, we must take off our grave cloths once and for all and live the abundant life through Christ our Father intended us to Live!!! Be Encouraged!!! Have a wonderful life of more than a conqueror on purpose!!!!!

Romans 5

Peace and Hope
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.

15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
