RESURRECTION OF JESUS-PART II

Friday, May 6, 2011
Romans 8: 9, 10, 11
But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of GOD dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up JESUS from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.

THE PURPOSE OF THE RESURRECTION DEMONSTRATES GOD'S SOVEREIGN POWER

Philippians 3:10, 11 says: "That I may know Him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto His death, if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."

The sovereign power of GOD is seen, unquestionably, in the resurrection of JESUS. That sovereign power is appropriated to us by the action of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in us, who believe on the LORD JESUS Christ. When we "know Him" and are known by Him, we have access to the path He followed, which includes the resurrection of our mortal bodies. JESUS mortal body was raised to immortality, thus our mortal bodies will be raised to immortality by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

I Peter 1: 3, 4 says this, "Blessed be the GOD and Father of our LORD JESUS Christ, who, according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again into a living hope by the resurrection of JESUS Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you."

Oh, WOW, I have a home in heaven reserved for me, where I will live forever. I have inherited it by the death, and resurrection of JESUS. His shed Blood bought me back from the grip of death and gave me the inheritance of immortality. WOW!!!

Embrace JESUS; He is embracing your heart; love JESUS and live with Him forever.
