God
Will Revive You
There are two points that I wish to make from the fact that God
will revive us. The first is simple. We become dead
to this world through conversion into Christ ( Romans
6:2-3 ). God then gives
newness of life ( Romans
6:4 ). At the point of
conversion into Christ we have become dead to sin and alive unto
the Lord ( Romans
6:6 and II
Corinthians 5:17 ). Additionally,
this world tries daily to kill our spiritual man which is in Christ
Jesus. To this point Paul wrote: “For
which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet
the inward man is renewed day by day ”
( II
Corinthians 4:16 ). That is comforting
for from these facts we know that this troublesome world can have
no lasting effect on our souls. Still yet, this world does
have a physical effect on us.
The second point
is a simple point as well. If we have been born into this world
we know that we shall leave this world because of death ( Hebrews
9:27
). Death entered
into this world because of the sins of Adam and Eve ( I
Corinthians 15:21
). Still yet, God
will revive us ( Romans
6:8-11 and I
Corinthians 15:22
). Regardless of
what man shall do unto us, God will revive us. Certainly, those
who would oppose those of us who are God's children have a lot to
fear.
