Living In The Power of The Resurrection

Because He Is, I Am Changed

There was a time in my life when I didn’t fully understand what it meant to live in resurrection power or how it applied to me personally. Like so many in the world, I had knowledge of Jesus Christ—I had heard the gospel—but I didn’t fully grasp its impact. Maybe I was like those who hear the truth yet struggle to believe it deep down.

I grew up hearing about the beauty of the gospel, but as I got older, I didn’t truly understand what it meant for my life. There was a season when I rebelled, determined to live my own way. Disillusioned and angry, I felt like I just couldn’t get anything right. Change seemed out of reach, and I was always struggling—feeling lost and alone. Even as I sat in the pew, surrounded by a thriving church, I felt spiritually adrift.

More Than Religion: Finding True Resurrection Power

I won’t get into denominations, but one would assume that in a large, growing church, the gospel of Jesus would be central. Don’t get me wrong—I was taught about the old man and the need for change, but not in a way that glorified Christ and His resurrection power. Maybe you already have a strong grasp on this, or maybe you don’t—and that’s okay. If you’re unsure, I’ve included a small personal Bible study with a few scriptures to help you get started.

Resurrection Power: The Strength You Need for Every Battle

If you are facing difficulties, setbacks, or seasons of doubt, rest assured—you don’t have to feel lost. The power of Jesus Christ is already at work. You don’t have to struggle alone, because He has already done the hard work. Right now, in heaven, Jesus is:

Interceding for us before the Father (Romans 8:34)
Advocating for us against accusations (1 John 2:1)
Preparing a place for us in eternity (John 14:2-3)
Sustaining us with grace and mercy (Hebrews 4:16)
Reigning with power and authority (Ephesians 1:20-21)
Preparing for His return (Revelation 22:12)

You don’t have to fight alone. The resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead is the same power available to you today. It is the power to overcome sin, walk in freedom, and stand firm in the face of trials.

Because He Lives, I Am No Longer Lost

Looking back, I see how the resurrection power of Jesus was always working in my life, even when I didn’t recognize it. I was never truly alone. Even in my weakest moments, His grace was sustaining me, His love was pursuing me, and His power was changing me.

If you’re feeling lost, take heart—Jesus is alive, and because He lives, you can experience true transformation. No matter where you’ve been or what you’re facing, resurrection power is real, and it is for you.
