The God Of Resurrection
THE GOD OF RESURRECTION
We were excessively burdened, beyond our power, so that we despaired even of living. Indeed we ourselves had the response of death in ourselves, that we should not base our confidence on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. (2 Cor. 1:8-9)
Though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For our momentary lightness of affliction works out for us, more and more surpassingly, an eternal weight of glory. (4:16-17)
They disciplined for a few days as it seemed good to them; but He, for what is profit able that we might partake of His holiness. (Heb. 12:10)
We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Be cause those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son. (Rom. 8:28-29)
