When we take up the CROSS OF JESUS, DENY OURSELVES and FOLLOW JESUS, we are following in the path of his Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection to LIVE FOREVER! “Knowing that Christ being [RAISED FROM THE DEAD DIETH NO MORE]; [DEATH HATH NO MORE DOMINION OVER HIM]”(Romans 6:9), said the Apostle Paul.

Therefore, as BELIEVERS AND FOLLOWERS of JESUS CHRIST, DEATH has NO POWER OVER US because JESUS IS ALIVE FOREVER (John 3:15; 5:24; 8:51) (Revelation 1:18)!

JESUS DIED THAT WE MAY LIVE (John 3:16-18)!

Our Lord JESUS says: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that [HEARETH MY WORD], and [BELIEVETH] on him that sent me, hath [EVERLASTING LIFE], and shall not come into condemnation; but is [PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE]” (John 5:24).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall [NEVER SEE DEATH]” (John 8:51).

“[IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME], [LET HIM DENY HIMSELF], and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY], and [FOLLOW ME]” (Luke 9:23).

“And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38).

“No man, having put his hand to the plough, [AND LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).

The Apostle Paul also expressed, said: “For ye are all the children of God by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24).

 

“[FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the power of God. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to [SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE]” (1 Corinthians 1:19, 21).

“Therefore as [BY THE OFFENSE OF ONE JUDGMENT CAME UPON ALL MEN TO CONDEMNATION]; even so [BY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE THE FREE GIFT CAME UPON ALL MEN UNTO JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE]” (Romans 5:18).

“HAVING therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, [PERFECTING HOLINESS IN THE FEAR OF GOD]” (2 Corinthians 7:1).

“[ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL], who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto [EVERY ONE OF US IS GIVEN GRACE ACCORDING] to the measure of [THE GIFT OF CHRIST]” (Ephesians 4:5-7).

“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8).

“Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).
