THE RISEN LIFE 2

A LIFE OF POWER

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

When we live the risen life we are to live in Christ it is a life of Power. We must learn to live as if we are immortal, because in Christ we are. As we walk with God we can be assured that we will live until His purpose is fulfilled in our life.
I have always looked at the bravery of Joshua and Caleb as they drove out the inhabitants of Canaan. Of course they were brave, they could not die. God had promised them that they would receive their inheritance after their enemies had been driven out. The same is true of us. We are immortal as long as we are fulfilling God's purpose. It is up to God to determine when we shall die and even then that will not really be death, just a graduation to a better home with Him.
When we walk the risen life it should give us power over temptation. The more we learn about God's rewards the more we know that sin is harmful to us and we are better able to resist the lure of the world.
When we walk with Jesus we have power over sin and we will not let it get the best of us. We should start living like victors and not like victims. The victory is in Jesus Christ.
