“THE EXCLUSIVITY OF RESURRECTION POWER”

What is the condition of the human body as it lives here on earth? The Bible teaches that it is dying. The body is dying so much so that it can viewed as already dead. From the moment of birth, aging is taking place; Aging leads to deterioration, failing, faltering, and ultimately, death wins in these ole bodies that we live in. Why can this not be overcome by human means? Man has no power within himself to overcome the curse of sin and death. This is an immutable law that took place in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:16, 17.)

The only people who will overcome sin and death are those who have been born-again. Those who have been born-again have received the Spirit of Life! Eternal death is no longer imminent for those saved by grace through faith. Will we die from this walk of life? Yes, but we will never die the second death, also known as eternal death in Hell (Revelation 2:11.)  

Our flesh sins. This is a constant struggle in the life of the believer. We have the Holy Spirit living within us, and He guides and guards us from making sinful decisions, unfortunately, we do not always yield to the Holy Spirit. Does this mean that we will die the second death? Not for a second! Praise God, the work of the Holy Spirit and His resurrection power keeps us from dying the second death. This is the exclusively for those who have been redeemed. Unconverted people sin unto death and unless they are saved before they die, the second death will be an eternal death in Hell. For all who have been saved by His matchless grace, we are part of the exclusive group that live in resurrection power.

Romans 8:11—”¹¹ But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
