00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.440 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.880 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17.540 Thanks.
00:00:19.700 Jesus said,
00:00:20.820 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.480 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30.000 Adam and Eve broke all of God's law, all 11 commandments, 10 natural laws, and one positive
00:00:37.400 law. And the result was catastrophic. Verse 17. Before we proceed, notice that in verse 14 of our
00:00:45.640 text, death is actually represented, it's personified by Paul as a king. Death reigned
00:00:53.080 from Adam to Moses. So how is it that death exercises his dominion over all the inhabitants
00:01:00.260 of the earth? Death reigns by sin, and Satan reigns by both death and sin. These empires rise
00:01:08.340 and fall together. Notice that in Job chapter 18 verse 14, Bildad actually refers to death as the
00:01:16.580 king of terrors and a formidable king death is the dominion of death is massive and the dread of
00:01:24.420 death is terrible especially among those who are separate from Christ the dread of death the fear
00:01:31.000 of death is terrible for all people but especially those who are apart from Christ
00:01:35.960 Hebrews chapter 2 verse 14 through 15 illustrates this point it says since therefore the children
00:01:41.920 share in flesh and blood, Christ likewise partook of these same things, that through death he might
00:01:48.720 destroy the one who has power over death, that is the devil, and deliver all those who through fear
00:01:54.900 of death were subject to lifelong slavery. Continuing in your notes, I've written this,
00:02:00.140 now focusing our attention on verse 17. For if because of one man's trespass, death reigned
00:02:07.860 through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift
00:02:13.420 of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Both Adam and Christ are the
00:02:21.080 sole authors of what they convey to their respective descendants. Adam conveys death 0.97
00:02:28.220 by virtue of his sin, and Christ conveys life by his righteousness. In short, it is theologically
00:02:37.640 and biblically proper to say the following, Satan reigns by death, and death reigns by sin through
00:02:43.900 Adam. In contrast, God rules by life, and life rules by righteousness through Christ Jesus.
00:02:51.140 Brothers and sisters, there are only two kings in this universe, and they are not co-equals.
00:02:58.520 One, namely God, is infinitely more powerful and glorious than the other, but there are two kings,
00:03:04.580 a greater and a lesser those two kings are God and Satan God is the king of the kingdom of life
00:03:14.020 he rules with an iron scepter of life and the scepter of life that he wields in his right hand
00:03:22.720 it is fueled and powered by righteousness and righteousness extends its dominion throughout
00:03:29.920 all the earth by virtue of Jesus Christ. And there is another king, King Satan.
00:03:40.180 And he rules the kingdom of death. And he wields this death as an iron rod.
00:03:47.260 And this death, this rod of death, it is fueled and powered by sin. And sin extends its dominion
00:03:55.700 and has from the creation of the world,
00:03:58.140 from Genesis chapter three,
00:04:00.040 from the moment of Adam's rebellion,
00:04:02.380 sin has extended its dominion throughout all of mankind.
00:04:06.600 There are two kings, God and Satan,
00:04:09.820 two kingdoms, life and death.
00:04:14.800 Two sources of power, if you will,
00:04:17.740 righteousness and sin,
00:04:19.680 and two federal heads,
00:04:21.800 two covenant fathers,
00:04:23.760 two representatives, in Adam or in Christ.
00:04:28.300 Thanks so much for listening.
00:04:29.840 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:04:33.080 take a moment and leave us a five-star review
00:04:35.440 if you enjoyed the show.
00:04:37.040 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us
00:04:40.320 get this biblically faithful content
00:04:42.280 to as many people as possible.
00:04:44.440 Thanks so much.
