Scripture Post #944: *THE DEVIL DESTROYED*

Hebrews 2:

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

The Devil's plan was to trap all of mankind in a sin-state of endless bondage. That all of mankind would be slaves to sin—serving it to no end. (Rom. 6:16: "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?") Sinners aren't taught to sin. (All of humanity) being born sinners, sin comes naturally. And by constantly sinning, sinners constantly obey their master: sin. Sinners aren't free; they are slaves to sin and the Devil has them in bondage! But the Devil's plan was destroyed on the Cross when JESUS CHRIST died on it! JESUS destroyed the Devil and delivered "…them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."

Saints are no longer bound by the Devil's bondage of sin and death. CHRIST destroyed the Devil's plan!
