Section 5
even our self would be beautiful. Therefore, we have just three major enemies—sin, death, and Satan.
Paul deals with these enemies in the book of Romans. In 8:2, which speaks of the law of sin and death, we see two of the enemies, sin and death. Then in 16:20 Paul refers to Satan: "Now the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." Do not expect to be a king over your wife or hus band. Husbands, the Lord has appointed you to be the head with respect to your wife, but not to be a king ruling over her. Parents should not be kings over their children. But we are to reign as kings over sin, death, and Satan. With respect to the members of our family and to the brothers and sisters in the church, we are servants. But with respect to sin, death, and Satan, we are kings.
GOD DISPENSED INTO US
If we would know what it means for grace to reign unto eternal life, we must have a proper understanding of grace. Grace is God Himself given to us in Christ and dispensed into our spirit to be our portion. If we have a thorough under standing of the Bible, we shall realize that God has no intention to give us anything other than Himself. All things other than God are vanity.
