Romans Verse nine
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. (Romans 6:9)
Every aspect of our personality that experiences the death and resurrection of Christ becomes free from the power of sin and death.
Let us say that someone has injured us severely and without cause. Satan immediately attacks us with spirits of revenge, bitterness, hatred.
This is part of our daily struggle against spiritual death and our attempt to enter life.
If we choose to disobey the Lord's commandment by not forgiving our enemy, spiritual death prevails. We remain in the corruption of the old adamic nature. No progress is made toward the first resurrection, the resurrection of the victorious saints that will take place when the Lord appears.
If we choose to obey the Lord's commandment by forgiving our enemy we must seek His Divine Virtue and His Holy Spirit, because the power to forgive does not reside in our flesh. The moment we choose to forgive, Divine authority and power take charge. The evil spirits seeking to dwell in us are rendered powerless. The forgiving Nature of Jesus enters our spirit. Part of our personality dies and a new, Divine element takes its place.
The new element is now an eternal part of our personality. Death has no power over it. It is our inheritance to the ages of ages. It is an eternal judgment in our favor.
We are being made incorruptibly alive as we follow the Lord in the process of death and resurrection!
