2nd Timothy 1:10

[Behold]

-

Ready to study?

I want to show you how to rightly divide this verse.
And as you see how i do it, it will help you to understand something about SEEING verses in the NT.
That will happen as you follow what i do.

2nd Tim 1:10

"""But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel"""

So, you read this verse, and it stays locked.

Now.....Look at it..."Christ who hath abolished DEATH".

This verse says that """"Christ has Abolished DEATH.""""
Yet, how many people DIED today? Didn't they?
And so will you, and so will I, sooner or later.
So, if "death is abolished" why did thousands die today, and tomorrow, and yesterday.. ?????
ah........ahhhhhh.
So, this verse, if READ, is not written correctly, but if its rightly divided it will open like a beautiful flower in your Spirit.

Lets do it..

Here is what the verse means....

"Death is Abolished... BY Christ".
So, the key is the word : ABOLISHED.
This word is the fulcrum, its the prism you look through to view this verse, Spiritually.
And remember, the Bible is nothing more and nothing less then always SPIRITUAL.
Its Spiritually Given, and its Spiritually Discerned.

There is a verse in your NT....you can find it as you need to open your bible......It says this...> "He that is Spiritual, judgeth ALL things"".
That means that the born again, have an intuitive spiritual capacity that is Christ in you, who is """ALL Wisdom and ALL KNOWLEDGE"", and you have this IN YOU, but you have to learn how to function within this spirituality that is "Christ in you, the hope of Glory".
When you do, you will read verses spiritually, and that is how you SEE them Literally.

Ok, "Christ has abolished DEATH".
What is that?
What is Death?
Death is the LAW. Its the effect of the LAW on you.

Here is Paul explaining it.... """ I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment (LAW) came, sin revived and I DIED".
See that "DIED"?
That is what the law does to your SPIRIT...(through the Law).. This is the "curse of the Law."
The power of SIN, is the Law. And the Law revived SIN in Paul, = Death.
So, anytime a "teacher" is telling you to keep the Law, you turn off that channel and flush.
The Law and trying to keep it...= DEATH to a person, as Jesus came "to redeem us from the Curse of the Law", or its ability to cause DEATH to our Spirit.

How does Jesus abolish death (the law) ??
He does it by removing its Authority from you. He literally over-ruled the Law by abolishing it on the Cross.
The KJV says it this way.... ""Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances (LAW) that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his CROSS"

Jesus literally by His BLOOD Sacrifice, took the law and nailed it to His Cross and abolished its authority to cause you to DIE ever again, after you are BORN AGAIN.
=This is the GRACE OF GOD... As found in this verse.... "you are no longer UNDER THE LAW....and why? Because you are UNDER GRACE".
Grace has replaced the Law.
Grace has replaced DEATH, by giving you ETERNAL LIFE "In Christ".
Christ Himself is "the resurrection and THE LIFE".
So, when you have HIM< you have BOTH OF THOSE.
You have the same LIFE POWER that resurrected Christ from death, living inside YOU.
Welcome to "Eternal Life".
Welcome to SALVATiON.

Jesus has forever removed the "dominion of the Law" from you, if you are born again.
The Law "is the power of Sin".
So, where there is no Law, there is no power to cause you to SIN.
To understand this is to take a deep step into the revelation of God's Amazing Grace.
To understand this, is to Believe RIGHT.
Right Believing produces Right Living.

And How does the NT define Jesus as abolishing the power of the Law to cause DEATH?

Like this.... Matthew 28:18. ""All power and authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me"".

See that = ALL POWER and AUTHORITY?
That is Jesus , King of Kings, Lord of Lords, - all power, all authority, in Heaven and on EARTH, were you are....right now.
He has the power, having now the authority also....which removes the Law's authority and dominion from YOU, if you are born again.

You are "Not under the law, (no death), you are under GRACE (Eternal LIFE).
See it?
This is why you have ETERNAL LIFE, while the unbelievers are currently existing in the wrath of God, John 3:36 under the law, heading for the 2nd DEATH.

Okay, now do the same thing in response to my request in this thread:

@Behold, would you expound the following:

 

[justbyfaith]

God did indeed deal with the condemnation of the law (from the outside, as written on tablets of stone) by what He said in such verses as Romans 6:14, Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19, Romans 7:6, Ephesians 2:15-16, Colossians 2:14, and Hebrews 7:18-19.

However, the law did not cease to (in fact, it even began to) govern us from the inside when we became recipients of the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4); as written on fleshy tables of human hearts (2 Corinthians 3:3).

Before it governed us from the outside and condemned us from the outside.

Now, it governs us from the inside and it no longer condemns us from the outside, neither from the inside.

This "no condemnation" factor means that the law no longer has the power to produce all manner of concupiscence (Romans 7:8) in the believer. This "no condemnation" factor means that the principle also found in Romans 7:5 does not apply to the New Covenant believer.

The motions of sins, which work in your members to bring forth fruit unto death, are by the law (specifically, its condemnation).

But now, being forgiven of past, present, and future sins, you are set free from the condemnation of the law. So the motions of sins no longer have power in your life.

Again, in being set free from the law, we are not set free from being governed by it from the inside. We are set free from being condemned by it from the outside. And this freedom from condemnation sets us free from the power of sin so that we become capable of obeying the word of God from the inside.

For sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4 (kjv)); and Jesus died to set us free from sin (Matthew 1:21).
