"Dead Man Walking"

"That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection..."

Philippians 3:10a

Have you given much thought to "resurrection power?"  Do you know how to access it?  Death.  It requires death.  "Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires..." (Galatians 5:24).  Do you "Consider the members of your earthly body as being dead..." to sin? (see Colossians 3:5-6).  Resurrection power!  The ability to become...and overcome!  To be all that God has called us to be, and do all that He has created us to do (see Ephesians 2:10).  How?

"I have been crucified with Christ;

and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."

Galatians 2:20a

"If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23).  This is the truth that will MAKE YOU FREE! (see John 8:32).
