Death Has Been Defeated
Commentators explain that Christ 'abolished death' not by eliminating physical death for believers, but by stripping it of its ultimate power. Through His own death and resurrection, Jesus removed death's 'sting'—the penalty for sin—and conquered the 'second death,' which is eternal separation from God. For the believer, physical death is no longer a punishment but, as one scholar notes, a gateway to the full enjoyment of eternal life.
