Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might." Ephesians 6:10
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ(by grace you have been saved) and raised up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
For grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2: 1-9
In the sixth ability of Jesus that helps to empower us is His ability to raise the dead. This ability summarizes all the physical senses that we have and combine them into one. If you think about this, a person who is dead has no sense of smell, taste, sight, sound, or touch. These senses would be useless. What does a dead person need with senses? But when Christ gives us life, our senses come alive. We become alive in Christ (Phil 1:21). Everything becomes new. We are new creations (2 Corn 5:17). When Christ enters our life, He raises the dead (John 5:21).
We are alive! We are alive! We are...alive!
