Resurrection Life

Judges 8; Psalms 42; 1 Corinthians 15

“…What you sow does not come to life unless it dies…So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;…For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”

1 Corinthians 15:36, 42, 43, 52

Our resurrection from the dead is the evidence that we belong to Christ. However, this resurrection life is only given to those who first die to self like a seed that falls into the ground and dies. To be born again, we must first enter the darkness of a womb of faith like a single seed. Claiming resurrection life in a life that has not yet died to sin and is now alive only in Christ is self-deceiving. The glory, power, and transformation of the resurrected life, are not for heaven only. These qualities mark the resurrected lives of those who belong to Christ and have experienced death to self and sin and new life in Christ.

Have we experienced this?

Don’t let apologetics replace the reality of Christ’s resurrection life and power within us.

“Lord Jesus, live through me, for your glory.”
