Life Through Death

Life Through Death

We tend to think that death follows life, yet the Scriptures repeatedly reverse that order.
Proverbs 13:14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.
John 5:24 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Romans 5:17 For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:21 ...so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
2 Corinthians 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life...
Revelation 2:10 Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
John 12:24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me ...

Unless and until we yield or surrender our life, dying to ourselves we will not know the fullness of Christ's life in us.

Life through death...
