THE RESURRECTION WITHIN
4/16/2006
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
(KJV)
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
(KJV)
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
(KJV)
Rom 6:3-11
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(KJV)
*** If you have Jesus you have the resurrection.
*** If you say you have Jesus, you have the Gospel of Jesus.
*** What is the Gospel? Death, Burial, Resurrection.
1 Cor 15:1-4
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
(KJV)
386 anastasis (an-as’-tas-is); resurrection,
from 450; a standing up again, i.e. (literally) a resurrection from death (individual, genitive case or by implication [its author]), or (figuratively) a (moral) recovery (of spiritual truth):
KJV-- raised to life again, resurrection, rise from the dead, that should rise, rising again.
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
(KJV)
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
(KJV)
*** You can rise from any dead thing!!
*** Your dreams can live!! Your power can live!!
*** Thus the Triune manifestation of God!! Father—Creation, Son—Redemption, Holy Ghost—Regeneration.
*** Regeneration must be a reality for salvation to be complete.
-- Titus 3:5
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
(KJV)
3824 paliggenesia (pal-ing-ghen-es-ee’-ah); regeneration.
from 3825 and 1078; (spiritual) rebirth (the state or the act), i.e. (figuratively) spiritual renovation; specifically, Messianic restoration:
*** Flesh is all about death. That’s why apostle paul said ,
Rom 7:24
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 8:2-14
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
