‘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.

 

Thank you for reading.

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

Who's writing?

Identify the author of the book and passage.

Z

Who is the author writing too?

Who is the audience? Yes, all Scripture is for us but not all of Scripture is directed to us our salvation and doctrine (how to live our daily lives). To say all of Scripture is, is erroneous interpretation.

Z

When was the Book or Passage written?

This is necessary to identify the time and historical context.

Z

What were the circumstances when it was written? (what was going on)

Z

What was going on before and after it was written?

What happen before and after the particular Book or Passage you’re reading?

Z

What is the HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE VERSE?

Where does the Bible verse fit in Biblical history. Use the answers from the list of these questions to identify the “historical context”.

Z

Are there other passages that the Author has written to help expand on the verse your reading?

Z

Utilize the full counsel of God to illuminate the passage

All of Scripture fits perfectly.

 

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-4; 2cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
