If death is the last enemy to be conquered, then, let’s you and I together, examin

e its measures and means. What is death, to begin with? First of all, we know of
a surety, that it is God’s enemy, and is the result of sin, which measures and me
ans are the acts of unbelief, resulting in the elementary stages of death, which
we refer to as sickness, metal or bodily disorders, oppressions, fears and frus
trations, all, having begun in the garden by human desire, which is beastly pass
ion. The word, “desire” is referred to as lust in the King James Version. The writer
said that sin is in the world because of lust, finding its entrance through Eve
, the mother of all living, having been transmitted to Adam’s offspring, in that a
ll nations are of one blood. So then, in Adam, all die, as in Christ, all is mad
e alive (the second man Adam, the regeneration). Watch, as the writer expresses
himself concerning this. First is the enticement, as we behold with our eyes, th
at by which we are charmed or fascinated, the serpent charming the bird. Next, w
e are drawn away by our own lust or desire. Then, when lust conceives, that is t
o say, when our sensual appetites affect our spirit within the heart, the act of
unbelief, which is disobedience from an evil heart of unbelief, projects itself
through our bodily being in the act of sin, which means death. The temple is de
filed! God must destroy it, for when sin is finished, it brings forth death; God’s
judgement on the creature, which is nothing more than the disfellowshiping of t
he shekinah glory or presence of God, which is life, inasmuch as our iniquity is
the barrier of separation. Christ, Himself, willing to receive the punishment f
or our sins, took our punishment at Calvary, for He was bruised for our iniquiti
es, and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, therefore, being justified b
y faith in the atonement, we have peace and eternal life in God, through Christ.
2 So then, if memory can be eradicated, that is, memory of condemnation, then
death is conquered, because condemnation kills faith. John said that obedience,
being better than all sacrifice or human efforts, that is, obeying from the hear
t, God’s own form of doctrine, will liberate our souls, commanding actins of virtu
e and godliness from within the desire of our own hearts, a joyful act and procl
amation of His love to the world.
