In the sixth chapter of the Book of Romans we are commanded to count ourselves as crucified with the Lord Jesus and risen with Him. <br>
Here, in the Book of Second Corinthians, we see the crucifixion and resurrection worked out in daily life. <br>
Each believer who suffers with Christ reigns with Christ. <br>
The power by which Christ rules is that of eternal, indestructible, resurrection life, the life that proceeds only from our crucifixion with Him. <br>
The power of resurrection life insured that Paul was not bound, was not crushed, was not in despair, was not at a loss, was not forsaken, was not destroyed. <br>
Paul was carrying around in his mortal body the death of the Lord Jesus. <br>
The eternal life by which Paul lived brought eternal life to those to whom he ministered. <br>
<em>But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead.</em> <em>(II Corinthians 1:9)</em>
