So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God. 1 CORINTHIANS 2 : 5
YOU ARE THE FIRST-FRUITS OF JESUS’ RESURRECTION !! And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is mere delusion [futile, fruitless], and you are still in your sins [under the control and penalty of sin] .. 1 Corinthians 15 : 17 What A Depressing Notion .. If Jesus had not been raised, your faith would be pointless and in vein. If the resurrection of Jesus Christ had never occurred, you would have not one shred of proof that faith in God’s Word works .. that faith in God’s Word is eternal .. and .. that faith in God’s Word conquers All !! Your personal fellowship and worship would both be without foundation !! However !! .. Because of Jesus’ resurrection, You Can Rest Assured In The Knowledge That Faith In God’s Word Does Work !! .. And For You This Means .. You have something incredible and extremely miraculous to shout about !! 19 .. If we who are [abiding] in Christ have hope only in this life and that is all, then we are of all people most miserable and to be pitied. 20 .. But the fact is that Christ (the Messiah) has been raised from the dead, and He became the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep [in death] .. 1 Corinthians 15 : 19 – 20 So .. How Is It That You Became The First-Fruits Of His Resurrection ? And .. How Is It That You Can Know With Absolute Certainty That You Will Live In Eternity And Be Raised From Death To Rule And Reign With Jesus Forever ? Well .. It Is Not because of who you are .. and .. It Is Not because of your own human faith !! It Is Because You Now have Jesus Christ Dwelling In You .. and .. It Is By His Faith And His Word That You Will Be Raised !! The faith that you have within you today is Not your faith alone .. But .. His Faith !! .. Jesus’ most excellent, proven, perfected, enduring, dynamic, eternal faith !! For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your poets have said, For we are also His offspring .. Acts 17 : 28 Jesus’ Faith Has Been Proven !! You look at the resurrection today and without a doubt you can say .. Jesus’ Faith Works !! .. Jesus’ Faith Conquers Death !! It Is Jesus’ Faith That Operates Inside Of You .. and .. His Faith Will Never Cease To Operate !! Do you realise that you, as God’s beloved child, would have absolutely nothing to preach or teach if you did not have the resurrection to back you up. If Jesus had not risen up out of the grave, you would have no hope .. But .. Because He Rose, You Now Have Endless Hope !! The Power Of The Resurrection .. Knowing that Jesus is alive forevermore, should fill you with the rock-solid confidence and faith to accept that what God has spoken will come to pass !! 54 .. And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished forever) in and unto victory. 55 .. O death, where is your victory ? O death, where is your sting ? .. 1 Corinthians 15 : 54 – 55 When you received Christ Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit indwelt you !! Well .. It is the faith of Jesus that is the very driving force of His Spirit !! It is His faith that motivates you to keep pushing on !! It is His faith that overwhelms you with the knowledge that His Word is absolute, unchanging, and eternal !! It is His faith that allows you to be immovable, steadfast, abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that Jesus in you is greater than anything you encounter here on this earth !! Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world .. 1 John 4 : 4 You Are Blessed To Worship God Because Of The Faith Of Jesus Christ In You !! It Is Resurrection Faith !! It Is Unshakable Faith !! It Is Faith That Abounds And Overflows And Conquers !! It Is Faith That Produces And Continues To Produce !! It Is Faith That Continues To Believe Because It Is The Faith Of God Himself !! EAGLES ARE BIRTHED IN SMALL PLACES .. BUT ..BORN FOR THE ENDLESS SKIES !! Comments are closed.
