By His power God raised the Lord from the dead and He will raise us also


By His power God raised the Lord from the dead and He will raise us also

1 Cor 6:14

14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 

 Rom 6:5

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Eph 1:19, 20

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

1 The 4:16

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the arch angel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)  By His power God raised the Lord from the dead and He will raise us also

2)  For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we will certainly also be united with Him in a resurrection like His

3)  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know
a)     the hope to which He has called you
b)    the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people
c)     and His incomparably great power for us who believe

4)   That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the arch angel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
