The document discusses the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection. It begins by defining key terms like "resurrection" and "power" from the original Greek. It then explains that the purpose of the resurrection was not just forgiveness of sins but to justify believers and give them new spiritual life. By rising from the dead, Jesus became the "firstborn among many" and his resurrection made it possible for believers to be born again from death to life through faith in him. The consequences of the resurrection were that Jesus regained authority over all creation and believers can now share in his resurrected life through the new birth.

am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful
labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not
know! 23I am torn between the two: I desire to
depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;
24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in
the body. 25Convinced of this, I know that I will
remain, and I will continue with all of you for your
progress and joy in the faith, 26so that through my
being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus
will abound on account of me. 25-Apr-16THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION 38

tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in
remembrance;

tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath
shewed me.
