00:00:00 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17 Thanks.
00:00:19 Jesus said,
00:00:20 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30 Adam and Eve broke all of God's law, all 11 commandments, 10 natural laws, and one positive
00:00:37 law. And the result was catastrophic. Verse 17. Before we proceed, notice that in verse 14 of our
00:00:45 text, death is actually represented, it's personified by Paul as a king. Death reigned
00:00:53 from Adam to Moses. So how is it that death exercises his dominion over all the inhabitants
00:01:00 of the earth? Death reigns by sin, and Satan reigns by both death and sin. These empires rise
00:01:08 and fall together. Notice that in Job chapter 18 verse 14, Bildad actually refers to death as the
00:01:16 king of terrors and a formidable king death is the dominion of death is massive and the dread of
00:01:24 death is terrible especially among those who are separate from Christ the dread of death the fear
00:01:31 of death is terrible for all people but especially those who are apart from Christ
00:01:35 Hebrews chapter 2 verse 14 through 15 illustrates this point it says since therefore the children
00:01:41 share in flesh and blood, Christ likewise partook of these same things, that through death he might
00:01:48 destroy the one who has power over death, that is the devil, and deliver all those who through fear
00:01:54 of death were subject to lifelong slavery. Continuing in your notes, I've written this,
00:02:00 now focusing our attention on verse 17. For if because of one man's trespass, death reigned
00:02:07 through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift
00:02:13 of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Both Adam and Christ are the
00:02:21 sole authors of what they convey to their respective descendants. Adam conveys death 0.97
00:02:28 by virtue of his sin, and Christ conveys life by his righteousness. In short, it is theologically
00:02:37 and biblically proper to say the following, Satan reigns by death, and death reigns by sin through
00:02:43 Adam. In contrast, God rules by life, and life rules by righteousness through Christ Jesus.
00:02:51 Brothers and sisters, there are only two kings in this universe, and they are not co-equals.
00:02:58 One, namely God, is infinitely more powerful and glorious than the other, but there are two kings,
00:03:04 a greater and a lesser those two kings are God and Satan God is the king of the kingdom of life
00:03:14 he rules with an iron scepter of life and the scepter of life that he wields in his right hand
00:03:22 it is fueled and powered by righteousness and righteousness extends its dominion throughout
00:03:29 all the earth by virtue of Jesus Christ. And there is another king, King Satan.
00:03:40 And he rules the kingdom of death. And he wields this death as an iron rod.
00:03:47 And this death, this rod of death, it is fueled and powered by sin. And sin extends its dominion
00:03:55 and has from the creation of the world,
00:03:58 from Genesis chapter three,
00:04:00 from the moment of Adam's rebellion,
00:04:02 sin has extended its dominion throughout all of mankind.
00:04:06 There are two kings, God and Satan,
00:04:09 two kingdoms, life and death.
00:04:14 Two sources of power, if you will,
00:04:17 righteousness and sin,
00:04:19 and two federal heads,
00:04:21 two covenant fathers,
00:04:23 two representatives, in Adam or in Christ.
00:04:28 Thanks so much for listening.
00:04:29 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:04:33 take a moment and leave us a five-star review
00:04:35 if you enjoyed the show.
00:04:37 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us
00:04:40 get this biblically faithful content
00:04:42 to as many people as possible.
00:04:44 Thanks so much.
