I am<\/span>\u00a0the resurrection and the life.<\/span>\u00a0He who believes in Me, though he may<\/span>\u00a0die, he shall live.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die<\/span><\/span>\u00a0(John 11: 25-26).<\/p>\n

\n

Knowing that\u00a0Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him (Romans 6:9).<\/p>\n

\n

But now\u00a0Christ is risen from the dead,\u00a0and\u00a0has become\u00a0the firstfruits of those who have\u00a0fallen asleep (1 Corinthians15:20).<\/p>\n

\n

But you denied\u00a0the Holy One\u00a0and the Just, and\u00a0asked for a murderer to be granted to you,\u00a0<\/span>and killed the\u00a0Prince of life,\u00a0whom God raised from the dead,\u00a0of which we are witnesses<\/span>\u00a0(Acts 3:14-15).<\/p>\n

\n

Then, as they were afraid and bowed\u00a0their<\/i>\u00a0faces to the earth, they said to them, \u201cWhy do you seek the living among the dead?\u00a0<\/span>He is not here, but is risen!\u00a0Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,\u00a0<\/span>saying,\u00a0\u2018The Son of Man must be<\/span>\u00a0delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again<\/span><\/span>\u00a0(Luke 24: 5-7).<\/p>\n

\n

Blessed\u00a0be<\/em>\u00a0the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who\u00a0according to His abundant mercy\u00a0has begotten us again to a living hope\u00a0through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,\u00a0to an inheritance\u00a0incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away,\u00a0reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time (I\u00a0 Peter 1:3-5).<\/p>\n

\n

For\u00a0if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him\u00a0those who\u00a0sleep in Jesus (I\u00a0Thessalonians 4:14).<\/p>\n

\n

For\u00a0I delivered to you first of all that\u00a0which I also received: that Christ died for our sins\u00a0according to the Scriptures,\u00a0<\/span>4\u00a0<\/sup>and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day\u00a0according to the Scriptures<\/span>\u00a0(I\u00a0Corinthians\u00a0<\/span>15:3-4).<\/p>\n
