Ephesians 4:8
"Wherefore he saith, "When he ascended up on high,"
"He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men"
There has always been some controversy to whom or what Christ is leading captive. After all the Scholars got together and hammered it out; they come up with the same one most readers do. Christ defeated sin and death by his resurrection, taking them captive and rendering them powerless. Now the gifts Christ gave to man; "He paid a price His life" in order to give us the gifts. The most valued gift "Eternal Life and Forgiveness of Sins" given to believers. Christ is sharing the spoils of His ultimate victory over Satan with those who have received Him.
Every believer is given some gift of grace, for our mutual help, We are given as seems best to Christ to give to each of us. In our life time Christ has given a large amount of gifts and graces; Particularly the Holy Ghost. There is a fullness in Christ, and a measure of that fullness given in the counsel of God to every believer. We never come to the perfect measure till we come to Heaven.
