Death is our transport into the eternal realm
THE GLORIOUS CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

The great conflict is between Jesus Christ and Satan; the battle is over the souls of mankind. The battleground is the minds and hearts of each human being. II Timothy 2:26 states, "And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will."

Jesus Christ our Lord was never defeated. He was triumphant before He came to this earth to die on Calvary. Even then He said, "Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?" (Mat 26:53). He did not win the battle for Himself on that day when He conquered death, hell, and the grave—but for us He won the victory, and we can walk in that glorious victory through faith in Him and His atoning blood. He defeated Satan in our stead; He who inhabits eternity, He who is not subject to death, came to earth and died our death, thus conquering death for us. He went to hell in our place; He paid the full penalty for our sins and He redeemed and purchased us with His own blood.

We who believe in Him and obey His words have no reason to fear death. Death is our transport into the eternal realm, our passport to glory, our export from death to life, our import to our goal. "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law." (I Corinthians 15:55-56).

Jesus did this for us that we might be partakers of His divine nature. He liberated us from the tyranny of Satan and set us free from the bonds that hold us captive. By eradicating our sins with His own blood, and putting His Spirit within us, He has given us liberty over every bondage of the enemy.

He came to earth to redeem us back to our estate lost in the Garden of Eden. By this transaction, we are brought again to the conformity of the image of God. "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." (Rom 8:29-30).

"For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." (Romans 8:19-21).


The Church of Jesus Christ (not a denomination or organization, but the true followers of Jesus Christ) is the GLORIOUS CHURCH TRIUMPHANT—the Church against which the gates of hell shall not prevail.
