The second death will have no hold on you implies that you must have a first death!
This means that you must first die to self as to live only
in Christ Jesus! In him, with him, and through him we move and have our being!
As St. Paul says: If we live and die with Jesus we will also be raised by Jesus!
Thus (the second death)bodily death will have no hold on you as you already died to self and now live eternally with him forever!
Praise be Jesus! May the peace of Jesus rest on you,
Dirk Evans! Shalom!
