What does the Bible say about Jesus's power over all flesh?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that Jesus has been given all authority over all flesh by the Father, allowing Him to grant eternal life to His chosen ones.
In John 17:2, Jesus expresses that the Father has given Him power over all flesh. This signifies that He is in complete control over everything that exists—humanity, creation, visible and invisible entities. This authority extends to both the saved and lost, demonstrating that there is no one outside of His dominion. As the sovereign King, He has the authority not only to judge but to grant eternal life to those whom the Father has given to Him. This power reassures believers that their salvation is secure because the One who saves them is the One who governs all things.
