.” In order to have a resurrected life, we must first realize that we were dead and a miracle took place to raise us from the dead. The Apostle Paul described for us the incredible character of our Amazing God. He is rich in mercy, of great love, has immeasurable grace, and is full of kindness. Do you remember Mephibosheth? King David showed kindness, grace, love and mercy toward a lame man on behalf of his covenant with Jonathan . In Christ Jesus, we see how God, the King of the Universe, has entered into covenant within the Godhead. Jesus Christ came to the world to save sinners like you and me. We were lame and didn’t have a Christian walk, but God chose to save us as we looked to him in repentance and faith. In Christ, we have been made alive, raised up, and seated with Christ in the heavens. We have an incredible position. We were once dead, but through Jesus Christ, we were given abundant and eternal life. Many often stop with this. Many often fall short of what God has for them. God not only gave us a new life. He also expects us to do good works. Jesus stated in Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” |
