The Resurrection of Jesus Christ was a plan God had throughout eternity. In that resurrection is the redemption for mankind. It had to happen. We couldn't be redeemed without it.

Satan had a plan for humanity to be eternally in spiritual death. But God had a better plan. He restored us to spiritual life in Christ Jesus.

Luke 24:1-7 ...On the third day rose again.

Jesus gave the entranceway, the only way, for humanity to be redeemed from spiritual death. And with that came redemption from sickness and disease, poverty, depression, and all the things that satan designed to destroy man. The Resurrection Event defeated all of those things.

Romans 10:8-9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

The resurrection is the key to our salvation. The almighty power of God was released on our behalf.

Romans 1:17 The just shall live by faith.

Live doesn't mean once in a while. It's a lifestyle for a lifetime. We have the obligation (and the ability) to live by faith.

He saved us, healed us, freed us, and delivered us.

The blessings of God were poured out on us through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

Our responsibility is to search the scriptures and gain the understanding of what took place at the resurrection, what took place when we believed in the resurrection, and what belongs to us through the resurrection.

The primary, basic, foundational belief is that we are the Body of Christ, and everything else, all the benefits, all the blessings, all the good things that are in us in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6) are part of the package that we have for eternity. We will never not be members of the Body of Christ.

Our life after redemption places us in a position to live by faith. A simple term for faith is acting on what you believe.

There are two parts to faith: believing and acting. Neither alone is faith. But both of them together pleases God and changes the world.

See yourself as God sees you. Talk about yourself the same way that God talks about you.

It's unproductive to pray for things that are already in you in Jesus. Spend the time, lots of it, to obtain the understanding of the Word of God and the understanding of the good things that are in you in Christ Jesus.

And then proclaim it. Declare, in agreement with the Word, that you already have it. Now.

This is God's plan that is still functioning, still working, and still filled with the same power from the beginning. He has placed in us everything we need to live victorious in this life.

God is not interested in us coming up short in any area. We've been redeemed from coming up short.
