That eliminates death ! 2
John 1:29 is the fulfillment of the prophecy of Daniel here Dan 9:24
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression,
and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
John Gill on the phrase "to make an end of sins"
and to make an end of sins; so that they shall be no more, but put away and abolished by the sacrifice and satisfaction of Christ for them, as to guilt and punishment; so that those, for whose sins satisfaction is made, no charge can be brought against them, nor the curse of the law reach them, nor any sentence of it be executed, or any punishment inflicted on them; but are entirely and completely saved from all their sins, and the sad effects of them. Our version follows the marginal reading; but the textual writing is, "to seal up sins" (w); which is expressive of the pardon of them procured by Christ; for things sealed are hid and covered, and so are sins forgiven, Psalm 32:1,
See Legally, death can only reign because of sin, because death is the wages of sin Rom 6:23a, so where sin has been taken away, life must be applied as an evidence of the same, so life must be given to a world when its sin has been done away as Per Jn 1:29 or where its sins are not imputed as Per 2 Cor 5:19 !
Remember Jesus spake these words about the World Jn 6:32-33
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is
he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
He came down from Heaven which results in His giving Life to the world, that world which by His death He would take away its sins ! That world He gives Life to !
He doesnt make it available for them, He gives it to them !
That word giveth didómi:
means to produce, as in to produce Life unto the world, it means to give as something due as in obligation:
to give what is due or obligatory, to pay:
In other words on the strength and credit of Christ's death doing away with this worlds sins, by paying its debt to God's Law and Justice, Life is what is due to it as a debt to be paid to it ! This Life is both Spiritual and Eternal !
This is also the World of His Sheep, lets recall Jesus saying specifically of them Jn 10:7-10
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they[The Sheep] might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Thats the world He came to giveth Life unto Jn 6:32-33
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which
cometh down from heaven,
and giveth life unto the world.
Death has been abolished for the world of Christ's Sheep, because His Death for them taketh away their sin Jn 1:29 !
