  us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ

1 Cling to the Doctrine of the Resurrection

• 1 Corinthians 1512-15 Now if Christ is
  preached, that He has been raised from the dead,
  how do some among you say that there is no
  resurrection of the dead? But if there is no
  resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has
  been raised and if Christ has not been raised,
  then our preaching is vain, your faith also is
  vain.
• Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses
  of God, because we testified against God that He
  raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact
  the dead are not raised.

15
1 Cling to the Doctrine of the Resurrection

• 1Corinthians 1516-20 For if the dead are not
  raised, not even Christ has been raised and if
  Christ has not been raised, your faith is
  worthless you are still in your sins. Then those
  also who have fallen asleep in Christ have
  perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life
  only, we are of all men most to be pitied.
• But now Christ has been raised from the dead,
  the first fruits of those who are asleep.

16
2 Live as Those Alive from the Dead

• Romans 611-13
• Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin,
  but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do
  not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you
  obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the
  members of your body to sin as instruments of
  unrighteousness but present yourselves to God as
  those alive from the dead, and your members as
  instruments of righteousness to God.

17
3 Set Your Sights on the Finish Line

• Philippians 310-13 . . . that I may know Him and
  the power of His resurrection and the fellowship
  of His sufferings, being conformed to His death
  in order that I may attain to the resurrection
  from the dead. Not that I have already obtained
  it or have already become perfect, but I press on
  so that I may lay hold of that for which also I
  was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

18
Conclusion Stirred to the Promise of Future
Glory

• ROM 811
• But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from
  the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ
  Jesus from the dead will also give life to your
  mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in
  you.
