Topic: Alive with Jesus
Bible Verse: Romans 6:11 “Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Message: When we believe that we were crucified with Jesus it’s also important to believe we are alive in Christ & there is also a hope for our physical resurrection. When Jesus rose again & entered into Heaven, He became the first of all; there by giving the hope that He will raise all those who believe in Him. Hence Jesus said “I died & behold Iam alive forevermore”. Also He said “because I live; you shall also live” (1 Corinthians 15:20; Revelation 1:18 & John 14:19). Secondly, there is a spiritual resurrection. When Jesus died, He took the sin of whole world but when He rose again from death He lives forever having fellowship with God. In same way the fellowship with God which Adam & we lost to sin ; we now can gain back by coming daily before throne of God through Jesus (Genesis 3:8-10; Hebrews 4:16; Romans 6:10). Finally, the life we live in this world, we are living daily in Jesus. It’s no longer us but Christ who lives in us & daily we are being transformed like Him. One day when we meet Jesus face to face we will be like Him (1John 3:2, Galatians 2:20,21). God bless you.
Prayer: Dear Lord help us to realise that it’s no longer we but it’s You who live in us. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen.
