Rev 1:18 “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
These words are from the one who lives. They are from the one who overcame death by dying and conquered the king of “terrors” in his own territory . Behold He now lives forever more. Death can no longer cut him down.
And because he is alive, He will always accomplish all his promises and fulfill all his purposes. He will sustain us and deliver us from all our troubles.
That’s not all , He also has the keys of hell and death. He has sovereign power over the whole invisible world to let into heaven and to lock into hell as he pleases. The keys are an emblem of his authority , power and dominion over the dark world.
” Because he lives, I can face tomorrow, because he lives all fear is gone. Because I know he hold my future and live is worth living just because he lives.” ( Bill& Gloria Gaither)
