Living as Those Made Alive in Christ

1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 

2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

~ Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV)

He Died for All

And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. (NIV)

And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. (KJV)

 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. (NASB)

He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them. (NLT)

and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. (ESV)

~ 2 Corinthians 5:15

Death Has No Power

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. ~ Romans 6:9 (NIV)

Christ's Love Compels Us...

The Hope of Eternal Life

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. ~ 1 Peter 1:3-4 (NLT)

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)

Raised to Life

He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. ~ Romans 4:25 (NIV)

Confess + Believe = Saved

that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; ~ Romans 10:9 (NASB)

Jesus Is Lord!

 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ~ Romans 10:9 (NIV)

Set Your Mind on Things Above

1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. ~ Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV)

The Resurrection of Christ

1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

~ 1 Corinthians 15:1,3-4 (NIV)

Death....Life

Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!” ~ Matthew 20:17-19 (NIV)

Raised from the Dead

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (NIV)

The Resurrection of Christ

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time

Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.

1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. ~ Colossians 3:1-4 (ESV)
