PURPOSE

For Christ died and lives again for this

very purpose, that He might be Lord

of the dead and of the living.

(Romans 14.9).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

REMEMBER

Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David

was raised from the dead according to my gospel,

For which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to

the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.

Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect,

that they also may obtain the salvation which is in

Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

(II. Timothy 2.8-10).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

WHAT HAPPENED

They laughed at Him,

knowing that she was dead.

But He took her by the hand

and said, “My child, get up!”

Her spirit returned, and at

once stood up.

Then Jesus told them to give

her something to eat.

Her parents were astonished,

but He ordered them no to

tell anyone what happened.

(Luke 8.53-56).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

RAISED UP

As for you, you were dead in your

transgressions and sins, in which

you used to live when you followed

the ways of this world and of the ruler

of the kingdom of the air, the spirit

who is at work in those who are

disobedient.

All of us also lived among them at

one time, gratifying the cravings

of our sinful nature and following

its desires and thoughts.

Like the rest, we were by nature

objects of wrath.

But because of His great love for us,

God, Who is rich in mercy, made us

alive with Christ even when we were

dead in transgressions- it is by grace

you have been saved.

And God raised us up … Continue Reading

ALIVE

When you were dead in your sins

and the uncircumcision of your

sinful nature, God made you alive

with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,

having canceled the written code,

with its regulations, that was against us

and that stood opposed to us; He took

it away, nailing it to the cross. And having

disarmed the powers and authorities,

He made a public spectacle of them,

triumphing over them by the cross.

(Colossians 2.13-15).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

IF

And if the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus

from the dead is living in you, He Who

raised Christ from the dead will also

give life to your mortal bodies

through His Spirit, Who lives in you.

(Romans 8.11).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

CHOSEN

Since you call on a Father Who judges each man’s work impartially, live

your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not

with perishable things such as silver and gold that you were redeemed

from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but

with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these

last times for your sake. Through Him you believe in God, Who raised Him

from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in … Continue Reading

RAISED

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that

we will also live with Him.

For we know that since Christ

was raised from the dead,

He cannot die again; death no longer

has mastery over Him.

The death He died, He died to sin, once for all;

but the life He lives, He lives to God.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin,

but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 6.8-11).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

BECAUSE

But because of His great love for us, God,

Who is rich in mercy, made us alive

with Christ even when we were dead in

transgressions- it is by grace you have

been saved.

(Ephesians 2.4 & 5).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

SOME MAY ASK

But someone may ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body

will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless

it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a

seed, perhaps of wheat or something else. But God gives it a body as He

has determined, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body. All flesh

is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animal have another, birds

another and fish another. There are heavenly bodies and there are earthly

bodies; but the splendor of the … Continue Reading
