‘that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, ‘
Philippians 3:10
In Philippians 3:10, Paul expresses his heart’s desire to know Christ and the power of His resurrection. This power is not limited to the miraculous event that occurred on Resurrection morning, but it extends to every aspect of our lives as believers.
Living in resurrection power means relying, resting, and trusting on the same power that raised Jesus from the dead to overcome the challenges of everyday life.
It is the power of Resurrection that transforms us from the inside out and empowers us to live a victorious life. The gospel, or the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, are the culmination of all that God does and without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no Christianity.
‘For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, ‘
Romans 6:5
This power can break the chains of addiction, heal broken hearts, and provide hope in hopeless situations. It is the same power that allowed the early church to turn the world upside down and continue to impact lives today.
As believers, we must never forget that the resurrection power is the core of our faith. It is the power that enables us to live the abundant life that Jesus promised us (John 10:10). We cannot rely on our own strength and abilities but must continually trust in and rest on “Resurrection Power”.
Let us live each day with the knowledge that “if (we believed the gospel) we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection” (Romans 6:5)! We have resurrection power!
May we trust in God’s power to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. As we continue to know and grow in Christ and His resurrection power, we can face any challenge with confidence and hope.
