Das Evangelium von seinem Sohn, der erwiesen ist als Sohn Gottes in Kraft nach dem Geist der Heiligkeit durch die Auferstehung von den Toten, Jesus Christus, unser Herrn, (Röm 1v1-4)
Wir wissen, dass Christus jetzt zur rechten Hand Gottes sitzt und dass alle Authorität im Himmel und auf Erden in seine Hände gegeben worden ist. Die oben zitierten Verse zeigen deutlich, dass unser Herr seine Position eingenommen hat. Nicht durch Zufall oder mit einem leichten Vorteil, sondern mit Macht. Jesus hat alle seine Feinde erfolgreich zerstört und überall, im Himmel und auf Erden, wird er als der Sohn Gottes mit Kraft verkündigt. Obwohl der Preis dieses Sieges hoch war, hat dies unseren Herrn nicht geschwächt, sondern er erschien in seiner Position zur Rechten Hand Gottes, ganz ohne Zweifel. Wie wunderbar, dass er bereit ist diesen Sieg mit uns zu teilen.
Wir lesen im Hebräerbrief über die Größe dieses Sieges, durch den wir nicht mehr unter der Furcht des Todes leben müssen..., damit er durch den Tod den außer Wirksamkeit setzte, der die Macht des Todes hatte, nämlich den Teufel, 15 und alle diejenigen befreite, die durch Todesfurcht ihr ganzes Leben hindurch in Knechtschaft gehalten wurden. (Heb 2:14-15). Jakobus beschreibt die Auswirkung dieses Sieges deutlich, So unterwerft euch nun Gott! Widersteht dem Teufel, so flieht er von euch;. (Jak 4:7). Der Teufel und alle seine Dämonen haben keine Macht über die, die Christus gehören! Was für einen wunderbaren Sieg Christus errungen hat und wie gesegnet wir sind an diesem Sieg Anteil haben zu dürfen!

The [Good News] of God, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. (Rom 1v1-4 with edits)
We know that Christ is new seated at the right hand of God and that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given into His hands. The verses above clearly our Lord has been established in this position, not by chance or with some slight advantage, but with power. Jesus had successfully destroyed all His enemies and throughout , whether in heaven or on earth, He was declared as the Son of God with power! Though there was a great cost in this victory, it did not weaken our Lord, but He was brought forth with His position at God’s right hand in no doubt. And it is wonderful that He is willing to share His victory with us.
We read later in Hebrews, the extent of Jesus' victory, since we no longer need to live in fear because... that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (Heb 2:14-15). The outworking of this victory, James sets out for us clearly when he says, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7). The devil and all his demons have no power over those that are Christ’s! What a marvellous victory Christ has won, and how blessed we are that we can share in it!
