Lift Off: Seeking What Is Above Through The Psalms Of AscentSample

Raised To Life

The hope of a Savior isn’t just something God’s people looked forward to long ago. It means that we have something to look forward to today. That’s the good news of the Gospel – that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and because He lives, we no longer have to be mastered by sin, but can now live through the power of His grace. That means we can face tomorrow with confidence and hope. We can experience a personal revival anytime we decide to lift our hands toward Him in worship. Paul wrote in Colossians that when we placed are trust in Jesus, we were raised to a new life in Christ. How does that reality affect the way you live today?

…With him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.

— Colossians 2:12 NLT

Prayer:  Jesus, thank You for coming to save me. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sin and my shame. Thank You for raising me to life with You. Because of Your death, burial, and resurrection, I can live above the shame and condemnation that try to drag me down. Help me to live every day in the reality of salvation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
