Commentary on Hebrews 2:15

Theological / Devotional

Deliver. Gr. apallasso, “to free” “to release.” Christ came to free men from bondage to sin and death.

Fear of death. This is the condition of the unredeemed. Millions are in bondage to sin and are longing for deliverance. They fear the present; they fear the future; they fear life; they fear death. Is there any hope or comfort or deliverance? The answer is that Christ has destroyed the power of Satan, has abolished death, and has delivered, and will deliver, them from the fears that have bound them.

All their lifetime. Man is born in sin. He continues in servile bondage until released by Christ.

Bondage. Or, “slavery.” For comment on the bondage of sin see on Rom. 8:15.
