I Corinthians 15:20 NKJV
“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” I Corinthians 15:20 NKJV
The resurrection of Christ is a powerful witness that reflects our rights in Christ Jesus. Without the resurrection, there will be no way for eternal life. Jesus’ resurrection is proof of our position in Christ Jesus. This speaks of the power that has been broken. The power of satan that has held mankind from the fall of man till the resurrection of Christ is now officially broken. We are no longer slaves of sin. Instead, we become an ambassador of the kingdom of God. The moment a person gives his or her life to Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, that person can function in the fullness of God. It is by the grace of God that we are who God says we are and all His promises becomes part of us when we believe in Him. Through the resurrection, we are transformed from a slave to a son, from the seed of the world to the seed of God, the firstfruit in Christ. The resurrection of Christ is the mark of a new beginning and a fresh start in the new covenant. The new covenant is a resurrected covenant, no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper. The resurrection life is prepared by God for all the saints. Every believer needs to make a choice to live in the life of God and not in our old life. We need to align our mind, heart and our lifestyle according to what Jesus has prepared for us. Our Father would be very pleased to see His children taking the life Jesus has presented. So let us step into the resurrection power and life of Christ. Blessings
