How to Know the Power
of His Resurrection (Part Two)
“I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection...” (Philippians 3:10a)
The resurrection is more than just an event that happened once in history. It’s the source of the power we can experience in our own lives—every day. The same resurrection power that brought Jesus from death to life is available to us—and if we tap into it, we’ll see an amazing transformation in our lives, too.
Here are the last five of 10 powerful ways you can know and experience the power of His resurrection:
6) EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION PEACE. You don’t have to live with guilt and shame because of the resurrection’s power to forgive your sins. Ask God to flood your soul with the peace of knowing you’re in a right relationship with Him. Recognize that if you’re deliberately sinning against God, you can’t be in a right relationship with Him—then deal with your sin so it doesn’t block the peace God wants you to experience.
7) EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION JOY. You can experience great joy because of the freedom from sin and the hope produced by the resurrection. If you allow your constantly changing circumstances to control your life, you can easily lose your happiness. But if you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you, you’ll experience joy—which will remain constant despite your circumstances.
8) USE YOUR RESURRECTION AUTHORITY. Make full use of the authority you have as a Jesus-follower to lead other people to eternal life. The greatest power we have on earth is to see a person become born again. So, as valuable as it is to meet people’s physical needs, don’t stop there. Share the Gospel with other people as often as you can. By doing so, you’ll be helping to release God’s resurrection power in their lives. As other people see God at work in your life, they’ll be attracted to Him.
9) EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION CONFIDENCE. Since God is on your side, you can be absolutely confident in His love, and you don’t need to be afraid of what the future holds. Whenever you encounter trouble in this fallen world, trust God to lead you through it and accomplish a good purpose in the process. Don’t place your trust in anything less than God—like your family, your health, your job, your talents, or your money. Give your allegiance wholeheartedly to God, and you’ll experience confidence that changing circumstances can't shake.
10) EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION HOPE. Your salvation means you don’t need to fear death. Expect God to fulfill all the promises He makes in the Bible, and trust those promises in your own life. Don’t let life’s comparatively minor annoyances weigh you down—realize they’re irrelevant compared to what’s promised to come. Live with heaven in mind—pursue eternal values—and rejoice in the hope you can experience every day.
I encourage you to live in the power of His resurrection every day.
