Jesus Reclaimed Mankind’s Earthly Authority
But ye are WASHED, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:11
The position and authority that Jesus won have been transferred back to mankind through spiritual rebirth in Christ (John 3:5). Those who believe and receive Christ have their relationship with God and their authority on earth restored. Because of Christ, we can live again as true sons and daughters of God, with all the rights and privileges associated with being His offspring.
Christ accomplished our redemption and reclaimed our earthly authority as a result of His being the Second Adam. It is important for us to remember that Jesus came as a man. Thus, He was qualified as a Representative of earthly authority. Jesus was perfectly obedient and sinless. Thus, He was qualified to be the Son of God and to restore man’s relationship with the Father by overcoming sin and death through His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus rose victoriously. Thus, He was qualified to defeat sin and Satan, regain authority over the earth, and be the earth’s rightful King.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
