The stupendous energy God exerted in Christ as the Father raised Him from among the dead and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenlies.

The fullness of the Divine Life raised Jesus from the dead and established Him at God’s right hand. The same Divine Life is working in each Christian. We are a continuation of the one resurrection of Christ. We are part of His resurrection. In this sense, the resurrection that began in the cave of Joseph of Arimathea is continuing every time a human being receives Christ into his heart.

We Christians are the demonstration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because He lives, we live. As He is, so are we in the world. In order to overcome us, Satan must overcome the resurrection of Jesus Christ—and this he cannot do.

When we were baptized in water we were immersed into the death and into the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the world we portray in ourselves the suffering and death of Jesus, and also the eternal life of Jesus.

The power of Christ’s resurrection is far beyond the ability of any human being to grasp. It is sufficient to enable us to overcome every sin, every sickness, every problem we encounter.

Christ was "delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:25). Through His death on the cross our sins were forgiven.

The power of the eternal life that raised the Lord Jesus from the dead is abiding in each believer. This incorruptible life overcomes the sin and death that is in us, creating the righteousness of Christ in us. The new creation, which is Christ formed in us through the eternal union of our substance and Christ’s Substance, walks righteously before the Lord God of Heaven.

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness (Romans 8:10).

Whoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God (I John 3:9).

The death of Christ forgives our sin. The mighty power of His resurrection life enables us to walk before God in righteousness and holiness.

The power of Christ’s resurrection life in us is demonstrated as we overcome the world, Satan, and the lusts of our flesh. Little by little we are overcoming the world and Satan through Christ’s Divine Life.

When Jesus appears in the clouds of glory, His resurrection life will shine as the sun for the world to see. Part of the shining will be the resurrection life that is in the saints. Christ and we will flash as the lightning from the farthest reaches of the heavens to the farthest reaches of the earth.

In Christ, being filled with His resurrection life, we are eternal, incorruptible, more than conquerors.
We behold the power and glory of the Divine Majesty when the eyes of our heart and mind are illuminated, as the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God rests on us.
