I Want to Know Him...

I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of His resurrection and participation in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. 

‭‭~ Philippians‬ ‭3:10-11‬

Please God...

17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
~ Romans 14:17-18 (NIV)

Alive in Christ

4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. ~ Ephesians 2:4-5 (NIV)

Alive in Christ

21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 (NASB)

United With Him

5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin.

8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

~ Romans 6:5-10 (NASB)

Made Alive through Christ

²¹ For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. ²² For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 

~ 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 (NASB)

The Third Day

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 (NASB)

Attitude is Everything

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. ~ Philippians 2:5 (NLT)

We Shall Be Like Him

2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. ~ 1 John 3:2-3 (NIV)

Good Soldier of Christ Jesus

Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. ~ 2 Timothy 2:3 (NASB)
