Hebrews 2:14 "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."

...........Man must be delivered from even any fear of his old master who had held him in bondage.
...................Then man will be free to receive the Life of God.
