The power of death is sin. It killed Adam and Eve and by it Cain killed Abel. Death reigned from Adam to Jesus, our Second Adam from above. But the power of death has been crushed. The antidote has been applied. Sin has been dealt with and only the finally enemy, death, has to be completely destroyed in the end, at the last day, in the final Resurrection.
But even now, we who live in this body of death, are risen with Christ at the right hand of the Father. His death meant our death to sin. His life means our life in Him. And nothing shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. We are His and He is ours. We live with Him in the heavenly places, now and evermore. Even to depart from the body is to be present with the Lord. And He will give life to our mortal bodies and we shall be like Him for we shall see Him face to face.
