There –IS- power in His Resurrection 3/31/24 susan allen Resurrection Sunday Phil 3:10-11 Weymouth 10 I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;11 in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead. I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do—forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me, with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize of God’s heavenward call in Christ Jesus.

1. Took away the slave driving rule/reign of sin IN MY life

Rom 6:9 KJV 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.12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.  

2. He opened up access to the Throne of God to ME

Matt 27:50-niv 50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.  

3. Gave ME a NEW LIFE.

Rom 6:4 kjv  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.    

4. Making ME a child of God (Heb 2:2)

 

5. Made Heaven a home for ME taking away the fear of death (Heb 2:14)

 

6. Made the Holy Spirit available to live IN and THROUGH ME (Acts 2:17)

 

7. Gave ME His righteousness/right standing with the Father letting me reign in this life (Romans 5:17)
