Book excerpt: Chapter 12 of the Gospel of John shows us, in a shadow, that the church has come into existence through the Lord as resurrection life. We have the church by His resurrection life. But how can the Lord increase the church? In this booklet, taken from Life-study of John, Witness Lee presents the answer to this question, which is shown in the second part of John 12 (vv. 12-36). The first part of John 12 shows how the church is there, and the second part shows how the Lord can increase the church through His death and resurrection.

This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this booklet compiled from Life-study of John, Witness Lee considers the Lord Jesus’ resurrection as presented in the Gospel of John. “The record in the Gospel of John regarding the Lord’s resurrection is different from that in the other three Gospels. The record of the Lord’s resurrection in Matthew, Mark, and Luke is nearly the same. John’s record, however, is vastly different. The Gospel of John always has the viewpoint of life. According to John’s Gospel, the Lord has come to be the expression of God to be received by us as life, and He died and resurrected to impart Himself into us as life…John 20 and 21 are written from this point of view.”

Book excerpt: When giving their records of the Lord’s death, Matthew, Mark, and Luke focus on the line of redemption. But the Gospel of John focuses on the line of life, and in this booklet compiled from Life-study of John, Witness Lee presents the emphasis of John’s record. John’s purpose was to show that the Lord is our life and that He died on the cross for the purpose of releasing Himself to us as life. His death on the cross was not just for our redemption but, much more, for the purpose of imparting His divine life into us.

Download or read book Life in Christ written by William Robert West and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you believe about souls? There are many very different doctrines taught in the world today concerning souls that are believed to be in all humans. By most a soul is believed to be something that is wholly apart from the person a soul is in; that a soul is something that is that is believed to be complete in its self without the person; it will live after the person it is in is dead; it is believed that a soul will exist forever without the person; it will never be dead; therefore, a soul cannot be resurrected from the dead. It is believed that a soul must live someplace forever, and it will live either in Heaven or Hell even if there is no resurrection. The doctrine of unconditional immortality of a deathless soul being in a person, and that soul leaving that person at the death of the person makes it impossible for Christ to have give His life to save that soul from death; if a soul had immortality it would already have life and could never not have life; all Christ could do is give it a reward or punish it.
Download or read book The Power of the Resurrection written by Francis Innocent Otobo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resurrection of Jesus is one of the central beliefs of the Christian faith. This belief and teaching cut across all the Christian denominations. Hence, Paul teaches that if Christ had not risen from the dead, then we would have been the most foolish of all religious groups. But the fact that He, Christ, died and came back to life gives us the opportunity to glory in the resurrected Christ. The book, The Power of the Resurrection, is centered on the resurrection of Jesus, and the meaning that this resurrection has for us as individual Christians, who believe in the risen Lord. It is not a theological work aimed at defining the resurrection, nor is it a historical work aimed at tracing or verifying the veracity the resurrection. No. It is rather a faith lifting book on the basis of the resurrection story as we have it in the Christian bible. Just as Jesus rose from the dead in the midst of all the opposing tides, so shall those who trust in him rise above all opposing tides in their life. Jesus could not be stopped, so also by the grace of Him who rose from the dead; nothing is going to stop your upliftment and manifestation also. The resurrection shall be your experience in your daily life and at the end of time, he who raised Jesus from the dead shall give life to your own mortal body too. This is the argument of the book. Jesus, the son of God, came into the world for the love of humanity. His teachings were misunderstood, and so through the journey to Calvary, he was crucified and died on the cross on Calvary. Yes he died. The chief priests and the scribes and the Pharisees, in conjunction with Pilate, conspired against him. He was sentenced to death. He accepted the death willingly and lovingly. He died that we might be saved. Hence, his death brought salvation to the world. However, before he died, he promised the resurrection. He did not hide the fact of the resurrection. Openly he said, the son of man shall be delivered into the hand of sinners, he shall be put to death, but on the third day, he will rise again. In another place, he said, destroy this temple, and in three days, I shall raise it up, and there was misunderstanding again. The people thought he was referring to the physical temple, but from scripture, we know he was referring to his body rising from the dead. Thus he did spoke about the resurrection quite clearly. This is where this book hinges its weight. Because he promised the resurrection, after the execution, the chief priests and the soldiers, knowing what he was capable of doing, asked the permission of Pilate for the grave to be guarded till the third day. This is because he said on the third day, "I will rise again". They knew that it could happen. They said: this man who gave sight to the blind, who raised the dead (Lazarus and also Jairus' Daughter), who cleansed lepers, who casts out devils; this same man said on the third day I will rise again. And they concluded: if he should "rise again" from the dead, then it will be worse for us. Hence, they received the permission to guard the grave, to prevent any rising from the dead. Humanly speaking therefore, the resurrection would not have been possible. This is because they did everything to prevent it. They put a very big stone to wedge the entrance, hence no coming out and no going in. More so, they stayed on guard with weapons to prevent any fraudulent act. They were prepared to kill again even if he should try to come out of the grave; that is, if he was able to overcome the wedging stone. Therefore, from the human point of view, it was impossible. By their calculation, they have overcome, they have conquered, and they have become victorious. But one thing they failed to understand was the statement of the Angel, which Jesus himself repeated to the apostles; that for men, it may be impossible, but not for God, because, for God, there is no impossibility. And so when the appo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is the most important possession we have. Without it, there is nothing. Only by the resurrection at the second coming of Christ will anyone have life after death. After the resurrection, the fate of those who are in Christ: [1] Eternal life [Romans 6:23] [2]"Shall inherit eternal life" [Matthew 19:29] [3] After the judgment they "shall go away into eternal life" [Matthew 25:46] [4] Will "have eternal life" [John 3:5] [5] Christ will raise them up on the last day [John 6:40] [6] Will be immortal after the resurrection [1 Corinthians 15:51 56] [7] Will have incorruption [1 Corinthians 15:42] [8] Will have glory [1 Corinthians 15:43] [9] Will be like Christ "We shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is" [1 John 3:2] [10] Are "heirs according to the hope of eternal life" [Titus 3:7] [11] Will have a spiritual body [1 Corinthians 15:44] [12] "And as we have borne the image of the earthly (The earthly flesh and blood body of Adam was made to live on this earth but it "cannot inherit the kingdom of God" 1 Corinthians 15:50), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (Shall be like the spiritual body of Christ for life in Heaven) [1 Corinthians 15:47 56] [13] "Will never perish" [John 10:28] [14] Forever with the Lord [1 Thessalonians 4:17] [15] Many mansions in my father's house: "In my Father's house (Who is in Heaven, Matthew 5:16; 5:45; 5:48; 6:1; 6:9; 7:21; 10:32 33) are many mansions...I go to prepare a place for you."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Do you want God to use you mightily to launch the world into greater depths of the miraculous by raising the dead? Have you ever pictured yourself taking centre of the world stage in a global revival that involves mass resurrections of people from the dead? This is the right book for you because God is calling men and women to step out of the convictions of ordinary life of mediocrity and complacency into a realm of overflowing, explosive and electrifying resurrection power. As the Founder of the Global Church and the President of Christ Resurrection Movement (CRM), Apostle Frequency Revelator unpacks a rare but provocative revelation that the dead are raised in this end time season as God is launching men and women into a deeper walk with Him to a special resurrection ministry, to display the fullness of His majesty and glory. In essence we are living in the days of the latter glory, a season whereby we shall witness a heightened degree of miracles, signs and wonder ever recorded in the history of the bible. Mass resurrection of people from the dead is one of the notable miracles, which shall become a common experience to God s children in these end times as God unleashes the fullness of His power to conclude His eternal plan on earth. This is indeed the ripe opportune time to raise the dead! However, there are a multitudes of books written on various Christian subjects today but rarely is there one on the raising of the dead. This is not just an ordinary book; it has been ordained and endorsed by heaven. I believe it carries God stamp of approval, validated and authenticated by the inscription of His own handwriting that the dead should be raised with a sense of urgency. This book is a catalyst that shall take you through a journey out of the convictions of ordinary life of mediocrity and powerlessness to plunge into the greater depths of the miraculous.""
Download or read book Life study of John written by Witness Lee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the language of the Gospel of John is simple, this book is deep and profound. In this life-study, Witness Lee shows that the Bible is a book of life and building and that the Gospel of John also is focused on life and building. The Gospel of John reveals that in Christ, the Word of God, is life; that He came that man may have life; and that He Himself is life. Furthermore, this Gospel shows that Christ is the bread of life; that He has the water of life; that He gives life to man; and that He even lives in man as life. The Gospel of John also unfolds the divine building. In 1:14, we see that Christ in the flesh was the tabernacle for God’s habitation among men on earth. In 2:19-21, Christ’s human body was also the temple of God on earth. Through His death, His body in the flesh was destroyed, and in His resurrection, He raised up His mystical body, the church, to be the enlarged temple of God. This is God’s building in the universe. Furthermore, this Gospel reveals that the believers are to be built up to be the Father’s house, the dwelling place of the Triune God. This is adequately and fully disclosed in John 14. According to that chapter, all the believers will be built together as God’s eternal habitation with many abodes. Thus, as the Lord’s last prayer in John 17 indicates, all His believers must be built up into one. The first section of the Gospel of John, composed of the first 13 chapters, is on the coming of the Lord Jesus to bring God into man and to declare God to man. The second section, composed of the last eight chapters, is on the Lord’s going in death and coming back in resurrection to bring man into God and to abide in and with man for God’s building.

Book excerpt: 2020 Catholic Press Association second place award for English translation edition Is the Christian hope for resurrection still alive or has it become tired? How can we talk about the Resurrection today? Gerhard Lohfink takes up the question of death and resurrection in this new book. He argues against the dazzling array of today's ideas and expectations and seeks his answers in Scripture, the Christian tradition, and human reason. With his characteristically gentle but clear language, he reveals the power of Christian resurrection, showing it is not about events that lie in the distant future but rather occurrences incomprehensively close to us. They were long since begun and they will embrace us fully in our own death..

Download or read book Life After Death written by Porsche Armstrong and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-18 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life After Death: The Resurrection Power of Jesus Applied To Everyday Life is a devotional that highlights the significance of the Cross - and the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as it relates to the Christian faith and all of human life. Understanding the perfect sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ allows us to live life fully and freely - even amidst intense pain, deep suffering and adversity, and frequent trials. With a foundation deeply rooted in the love of Christ, we are able to persevere on earth with endurance and patience; knowing that if we hold fast to our faith in both the good and the trying circumstances of life, we will one day share in the glory of Jesus Christ upon the day of His return. This book uncovers unprecedented truth by examining life circumstances that produce dying moments for both the believer and the unbeliever, recounting relevant biblical stories and addressing real-life experiences in a perspective that engages the reader in necessary self-reflection. The devotional serves as encouragement for the diligent, restoration for the weary, comfort for the broken in spirit, grace for the hardened of heart, and mercy for the impenitent. It is our prayer that the words shared in the first installment of the Life After Death series give a new-found hope so that God can continue to use us all for His glory. Keep fighting the good fight of faith.
