My God is Alive!

Check out this song from Newsboys...God's not dead.






If you have not seen the movie God's Not Dead I highly recommend it.



For the follower of Jesus, knowing our God is alive is one of the main principals our faith hinges on. All other religions follow a dead god, we follow a God that is alive and well, Whom defeated sin and death, and now sitting at the right hand of God, awaits the Father to tell Him to come and get His children!



Matthew 16:21

[ Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection ] From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.



Mark 16:19

[ Christ Ascends to God’s Right Hand ] So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.



Matthew 26:64

Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”



Oh yeah I know that's right! Jesus is alive and well!!! One day soon He is coming back for me!!!! Are you ready?



Here are couple of other verses that talk about Jesus dying but now is alive!



1 Peter 3:18

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,



Revelation 1:18

I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.



Not only is my God alive but He is in control! You see who has the keys don't you??????



One day soon brothers and sisters:



Mark 13:26-27

26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.





Mark 13:32-36

32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.



Does that sound like a dead God to you? My God is alive and well. Come get me Jesus! I am ready! How about you?



Let others know about your God and give Him glory in everything!
