Romans 6:9<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n Truth to Learn<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Jesus Christ can never die again!<\/p>\n Behind the Words<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cKnowing<\/span>\u201d <\/span>is translated from the Greek word eid\u014d<\/span><\/em>, which can mean either \u201cto see or perceive\u201d or \u201cto know\u201d depending on its usage. <\/span>Here is what The Complete Word Study Dictionary<\/em> says about this word as it appears in Romans 3:9<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n [It is] spoken of man’s knowledge as a result of and only in view of his relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. There are certain things that human beings simply cannot know intuitively unless they become the children of God.<\/p>\n The word is expressed here as a perfect participle. That is, we have known in the past and, as a result, we are continually knowing; we have continual knowledge.<\/p>\n The Greek word translated \u201chas dominion<\/span>\u201d is kurieu\u014d<\/span><\/em>, the verb form of kurios<\/span><\/em>, meaning \u201cmaster, lord, or owner.\u201d Thus, kurieu\u014d<\/span><\/em> refers to \u201clordship or ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n Meaning Explained<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This verse is a statement of fact regarding what we talked about in the previous verse. <\/span>Paul starts off by saying \u201cknowing that Christ \u2026 dies no more.\u201d In other words, because we are saved, we have come to know and now are continually aware that Christ was raised from the dead. <\/span>And, since He was raised from the dead, He will never die again because death no longer has lordship or ownership of Him. That is, death has no power or authority over Him.<\/p>\n Did you know that before the resurrection of Christ, the Devil, Satan himself, had the power to take life? <\/span>It says so in the book of Hebrews:<\/p>\n Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil<\/strong>, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.<\/span> (Hebrews 2:14, 15<\/span><\/strong>)<\/p>\n But now that Christ has been raised from the dead, He alone has the keys to death and Hades as it says in <\/span>Revelation: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me,<\/span> “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.<\/span> I <\/span>am<\/span><\/em> He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death<\/strong>.<\/span> <\/span>(Revelation 1:17, 18<\/span><\/strong>)<\/p>\n Back in verse two we said that death means separation. Physical death means separation from this body. Spiritual death means separation from God. Since we know Christ as our Lord and Savior, we also know that we have eternal life with Him. We will never be separated from Him. And Paul says that we don\u2019t simply think that we have eternal life, we know it!<\/strong><\/p>\n Application<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n As Christians we are united with Christ and can never be separated from Him, ever; not in this life and not in the after-life. We are secure in Him and eternally with Him.<\/span><\/p>\n In God\u2019s service, for His glory,<\/strong><\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2010 Will Krause.
