Already, But Not Yet
Already, But Not Yet Hebrews 2:5-9 Main Point: Jesus Christ conquered death and in Him man’s dominion over all things is . Although we do not yet see everything under His control, we can live victoriously in this life through His victory and power! *One day, Christ’s kingdom will be fully consummated – until then we live in the already but not yet! 1. Man was created to have over all creation. Genesis 1:27-28 Psalm 8:4-6 is quoted, without reference because of its fame. Death was never part of God’s ’ ’ plan for man. Romans 6:12 2. Part of the consequence of disobedience was the loss of dominion – man and creation were to Satan. Romans 8:18-21; I John 3:7-8 *Jesus is the of our restored dominion. 3. We can now live in the ’ ’ (the dominion of Christ) or in the ‘Not yet’ (in the defeat of our flesh). Romans 5:17 Hebrews 10:12-14
