Raised To Life

Before Christ, we were spiritually dead, following worldly patterns and controlled by the enemy. But God, rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ and raised us to a new position of authority and favor. Many believers still live like prisoners even though Christ has opened the prison doors. This spiritual institutionalization happens when we forget our new position in Christ and continue thinking with our old mindset. The solution is renewing our minds through God's Word and setting our thoughts on heavenly things. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us today, enabling us to walk in the freedom Christ has provided.
