Paul’s words throughout the New Testament were calling God’s people everywhere to love the truth, to search it out, study it, and obey it.

God’s grace never leads to license; it always leads to repentance.

If we allow death to finish its work in us, Christ’s own resurrection life will flow freely out of us.

God allows his children to be put into “death situations” to rid our hearts of any hindrances and glorify him before angels and men.

God wants no worldly thing to remain that will hinder the beautiful manifestation of Christ in us.

If we have received Jesus as our Savior and Lord, then he resides in us as a mighty power of resurrection life.

God wanted to remove death’s sting, to break Satan’s power over death once and for all, so he allowed Jesus to go down into death in order to swallow it up.

God will cleanse us and give us new hearts, then he will bring us into obedience. Our part is to believe that he will keep his word with unwavering faith.

God has a plan of victory for us, just as he had for his own Son; but this victory can only be accomplished in us through death.

Today, our enemies exist in the spiritual realm: demonic powers, fleshly lusts, evil desires. God has not left us to fight these forces alone.
