Not Just Belief, but a Life Lived....What VICTORY!!!

For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:5-11)
For the Christ-follower, not simply a believer, but a follower, not a fan, but a disciple of Christ,  death has no power. Christ has redeemed us with His blood and secured us until the day of redemption by His Spirit.

Death . . . you have no victory! Grave . . . you have no sting! We rejoice with the angels for eternal life for all who have professed belief in their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and lived a life to honor Him and bring others to know Him! (John 11:25-26)

Have you repented of your sin and allowed Christ to now live in you?

Truer words have never been spoken. He got up and will raise up those who believe in Him! The beauty of my relationship with my mom is that I get to spend eternity with her, ETERNITY!!!! This separation is only temporary.

Praise God!
