“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:4
…in you?
Jesus Christ died, was buried and was risen on the third day according to the Scriptures. How do I know? The Bible tells me, AND He is alive in me! I celebrate His resurrection each day when I walk in the full power of His Holy Spirit. His love has and continues to transform me and by His grace and for His namesake, I am no longer the person I used to be:
“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20
Read about this transformation in the life God entrusted me here
What about you? How do you celebrate His resurrection? How do you know He IS alive?
Some bread for you… Isaiah 53 Luke 24
I’m praying for you reader…praying God opens your mind to understand the Scriptures and gives you eyes to see God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son Jesus Christ.
For my fellow brethren I pray we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ everyday showing our gratitude to the Father by worshiping Him in Spirit and in Truth with great joy giving praise to God thankful that Jesus IS alive, in us! Amen
Go and tell others!
“…Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” Luke 24:46

He is Risen ! I love you my precious sister in Christ Jesus who is the Risen Lord of our lives . I am mindful of what Christ has done as He suffered for my sins and died for me so that He might suffer God’s wrath on my behalf !
God raised Jesus from the dead and it is the best news for sinners like me !
Oh to read the Scriptures as a constant reminder of what took place and to look to the Lord daily with gratitude !
You spur me on dear Arcelia ! May we never get used to this amazing grace ! Jesus is alive and well His Spirit lives within us because HE died and rose again !
Hallelujah !

Great post! “How do I know He is alive in me?” For me it’s a bittersweet “knowing”. I carry the sorrow of Christ’s passion comforted by the Holy Spirit’s conviction to draw my repentance which allows me to further appreciate my desperate need for a Redeemer. I also carry the joy of hope, faith and love for God and neighbor that crucifies any of my fears knowing there is no condemnation for those in Christ. What a gift we have in God. Thank you again for your encouragement. Keep posting!! His, Chris.
