Jesus came to "destroy the works of the devil." "In Him was life," and He says, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." He is "a quickening spirit." 1 John 3:8; John 1:4; 10:10; 1 Cor. 15:45. And He still has the same life-giving power as when on earth He healed the sick, and spoke forgiveness to the sinner. He "forgiveth all thine iniquities," He "healeth all thy diseases." Ps. 103:3.

Jesus kom for at "tilintetgøre Djævelens gerninger". "I det (Ordet) var liv," og han siger: "Jeg er kommen, for at de skal have liv og have overlod." Han er "en levendegørende ånd". 1Joh. 3,8; Joh. 1,4; 10,10; 1Kor. 15,45. Og han har stadig den samme levendegørende kraft, som da han her på jorden helbredte de syge og talte tilgivelsens ord til synderen. Han "tilgiver alle dine misgerninger", han "læger alle dine sygdomme". Sl. 103,3.
