TO THE BIBLE
Romans 5:19
“For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous”.

LET’S TALK
Think of those moments in stories or films where the hero is offered everything—riches, power, fame, influence—if they would only compromise on what they know is right. It’s a familiar set-up, a tempting offer that tests the hero’s character. That’s what happened to Jesus in Matthew 4:8-9. Satan offered Him all the kingdoms of the world, saying, “All this could be yours if you just bow down and worship me.” The devil wasn’t merely offering wealth or power; he was calling for worship, demanding that Jesus acknowledge his authority over the world.

In Luke 4:6, Satan even said, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.” Who gave him that authority? It definitely wasn’t God!

To understand this, we have to go all the way back to Genesis. In 1 Timothy 2:14, Paul explains that Eve was tricked by the serpent (Satan), but Adam wasn’t. Adam knew exactly what he was doing when he chose to disobey God. That choice—Adam siding with Satan—was treason against God. He gave up the authority that God had given him to rule over the earth. Romans 5:12 puts it this way: “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men.”

By yielding to Satan, Adam handed over his God-given authority to the devil. That’s why 2 Corinthians 4:4 calls Satan the “god of this world.” He took on a role that was never meant to be his.

But thanks be unto God! Our Lord Jesus, through His death, burial and resurrection, reclaimed the dominion and delivered it back to us. His vicarious sacrifice and restoration in our behalf was the ultimate victory through which the power of Satan was broken, and the authority of Christ was established forever in and through His Church. Glory, Hallelujah!

GO DEEPER
Genesis 3:15; Colossians 2:15; 1 John 3:8

SPEAK
Blessed Father, thank you for the victory I have in Christ Jesus. I rejoice in the knowledge that through His sacrifice, the authority lost by Adam has been restored to us in Christ. I walk in this victory every day, knowing that I’ve been translated into the Kingdom of your Love-Son, enjoying the glorious liberty of the saints in light. Hallelujah!
