Sharing Resurrection

Okay, I admit, this may be the strangest of all this series. Plus, if you read the verse and especially the context of the verse, you may think, "What?!"

Let me keep things simple. Think Easter. Wait, no, not bunnies and eggs, but Jesus and raising from the tomb. He resurrected to defeat sin.

With sin in our lives, we are dead. When we believe in Jesus as the only way to salvation and repent to walk in his way, we share in his resurrection. God makes us alive in Christ.

"I see dead people" all the time. People who are alive, but inside they are dead. They try to make their soul come alive, but never succeed. Why? The only resurrection of our soul is through Jesus.

On another note, all of what God shares with us is for the main purpose of us defeating or being rescued from sin. Sometimes (okay, maybe a lot of times), God is seen as a mean, vengeful God waiting to punish and throw lightening bolts. But, let me ask, does a God who did the work of overcoming sin on our behalf sound vengeful to you?
