It may not feel like you’re living a victorious life but you are!
Regardless of our circumstances the Lord Jesus shed His blood, died on the cross, was buried, and was resurrected from the dead three days later victorious over sin, the law, Satan, and even death. It is finished.
The work of the cross is the culmination of all that God does on our behalf, and when a person simply believes the gospel they identify (Romans 6:5) with Christ’s death, burial and “RESURRECTION. The result is our salvation, which is far more then a fire escape; we to are victorious over death, the law, sin and Satan. Sealed with Holy Spirit as the guarantee of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14), which we will be with the Lord Jesus forever.
As believers, we can rest in the power of Christ’s resurrection, knowing that through it, we have victory over sin (NOW), the law (NOW), Satan (NOW), and death (NOW). Let us continue to fix our eyes on the Lord Jesus and His word, the author and finisher of our faith, and trust in “resurrection power” to sustain us in every aspect of our lives.
Without the resurrection we have nothing but praise God, He is Risen:
1. What is the believer’s position right now?
Answer: The believer’s position right now is on resurrection ground, resting on the power of Christ’s resurrection for every aspect of daily life. (Philippians 3:10, Ephesians 1:3-6; )
2. What gives believers the ability to live a victorious life?
Answer: Resurrection power gives believers the ability to live a victorious life and overcome challenges such as addiction, loss, physical pain, heartbreak, and ultimately sin, Satan, and death itself. (Philippians 3:10, Romans 8:37, 1 Corinthians 15:55-57)
3. What is the core of our faith as Christians?
Answer: The core of our faith as Christians is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without Christ’s resurrection, we have nothing. (1 Corinthians 15:17)
4. What is the significance of Christ being the first fruits of those who have died?
Answer: When we say Christ is the first fruits of those who have died, it means that just as He was raised from the dead and will never die again, so too will those who believe the gospel be raised from the dead to be with the Lord forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:14, 1 Corinthians 15:20, Romans 6:5)
5. What happens to believers who have already died when Christ returns?
Answer: Believers who have died will be raised from the dead first then those who are still alive will be caught up (the rapture) together with them to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17)
