Jul 17, 2021 at 6:05 comment added Austin @user48152, Philippians 2:8-9 8 "And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name," The reason Jesus is raised up both physically and in authority is because of his obedience to the point of death. I understand Jesus as the New Adam. Ever since the old Adam's failure in obedience, God has waited until the coming of a righteous new Adam raised to eternal rule to bring healing to the people and bring forth the new creation.
Jul 17, 2021 at 5:57 comment added Steve can you re phrase , the power of Christ's death is that it enables His resurrection. I don't get your meaning here. Pls consider any other Q that would tease out a better understanding of this critical topic that are - "not well understood"
Jul 17, 2021 at 5:49 comment added Austin @user48152, I will say one more thing. I believe the power of Christ's death is that it enables His resurrection. Once he is made perfect through suffering he is qualified to become the High Priest and King of the New Creation providing a Way for us to escape the moral and physical corruption of the old creation. Because we are no longer bound to the corruption (sin) of the old created order, the devil loses his power. But the whole point of his death is to enable the thing that actually saves us, the royal priesthood of Christ and the New Creation (including the regenerative resurrection).
Jul 17, 2021 at 5:41 comment added Austin @user48152 I agree with the assessment of stages. I think there is much confusion regarding the whole counsel of the Gospel because the complexities of the concepts as they relate to their multiple stages are not well understood.
Jul 17, 2021 at 5:38 comment added Steve I guess we live because he lives, but first sin had to be dealt with. There is a sequence to all stages of salvation. I think the bible is clear which goes with what. Perhaps there’s a q in there somewhere.
Jul 17, 2021 at 5:17 comment added Austin @user48152, Heb 2:14 says that Jesus broke the power that Satan has with respect to death. He broke this power through his death by, as Rom 5:14 says, reconciling us to God. But, as Rom 5:14 also says, it is his life, his resurrection life, that actually save's us. Heb 7:25, says that Jesus is able to utterly save those who draw near to God because he always lives, and 1 Cor 15 says that we cannot inherit the kingdom unless we participate in the resurrection that Christ did (50-55). Indeed we are still in our sins if Christ had not been raised (v:17). I hope that helps. Thanks for the upvote.
Jul 6, 2021 at 8:18 comment added Steve “The physical problem of sin was dealt with by his resurrection life.” no, this was accomplished through his death. Heb 2:14 ( you even quoted this in Rom 5) But useful answer tho.+1
