Jesus by His death broke the power of death and freed our lives held in slavery by the fear of death

Jesus by His death broke the power of death and freed our lives held in slavery by the fear of death

Heb 2:14

14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Gen 3:15

15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a] and hers;
he will crush[b] your head,
    and you will strike his heel.”

1 Cor 15:54-57

54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h]

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?”[i]

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Tim 1:10

He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)     Jesus by His death broke the power of death and freed our lives held in slavery by the fear of death

2)     Jesus crushed the head of devil through the redemption of the cross

3)     The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

4)     God has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.


5)     Christ Jesus has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
