No resurrection without a death.John Farley
Pastor Teacher Happy Resurrection Sunday!
No resurrection without first a deathJoh 12:23 Phi 3:10-11 We need to pay close attention to the verbs.
First, that I may come to know –
His deity Col 1:15-17 the hope of His calling the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints Eph 1:17-18
God demonstrated unimaginable power when He resurrected Jesus from death. The Resurrection declares that Jesus Christ is God. Rom 1:4 Believers are born again to a living hope by the Resurrection of Christ. 1Pe 1:3 The Resurrection enables all believers to share in Christ’s physical resurrection. 1Co 15:20-22 His resurrection power is at work now in the lives of believers here on earth. Eph 1:19-20
When we suffer in a way that shares in His sufferings, we get closer to Him, … because that’s when we really need Him the most. 2Co 1:5-10 Phi 3:10-11 being conformed to His death this is not physical death, nor is it physical resurrection. if you are a believer, you have already been conformed to His death! Gal 2:20 There is also an experiential side to being conformed to His death. 2Co 4:10-12 Being sharers of His death, we can come into His resurrection - during this life. Rom 6:3-4 We can walk away from the dead things and come into the life of the resurrection. The flesh and the world are “dead” things to us. Rom 8:5-6,11 We can reap eternal life while we are still here on earth. Gal 6:8-10
