Christ Our Champion


Christ is our Champion.  The Image is only a fictional representation of what Christ has done for us.  He was and will always be the Champion!

Jesus Takes The Keys To Hell And Death
 
(Rev. 1:18) Jesus took the keys of hell and death. The devil’s power is broken because the devil did not have “THE RIGHT” to break the Promised Seed’s hold on life as was stated in the (Gen. 3:15) prophesy because a certain situation existed of which no one was aware but God. (Rom. 5:12-21) “Death reigned” because God had given Adam, the first man, a simple choice that was actually a key. Eat of the tree of life and live or eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and die. Simply put, do you choose life or death? Adam disobeyed God’s command to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or they will die. Adam and Eve chose to follow Satan’s way and chose death. That act gave the key of death to Satan, the devil. (Rom. 3:23 & 1John 1:19) “All have sinned” because Adam’s sin and death were handed down from generation to generation. Thus sin and death are always "hooked" together. God instituted a law of forgiveness of sin to Moses and the Jews. (Heb. 10:1-5) “But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.” The Jews failed and the law failed because (Gal. 3:21) the Law could not give life. (Heb. 4:15) Jesus was human just like us but He did not sin. Satan, using people, killed Jesus; (Gen. 3:15) “bruise his heel”. Satan did not have the right to kill Jesus because Jesus did not sin and when Satan killed Jesus that unhooked sin from death.


Essentially when Jesus rose from the dead he conquered death and gave those who believe, eternal life.  He was a sacrifice for us!  At this very moment I am in total awe over what God has done for us all.  I am weak but He is strong.  May He live through me today and always!  God Bless You All!
