1. Overcome the power of death and win
After혻the혻sins혻committed혻by혻Adam,혻sins혻and혻death혻become혻the혻king혻of혻the혻world.혻People혻with혻flesh혻have혻a혻fearof혻being혻dead.혻However,혻Jesus혻who혻is혻the혻son혻of혻God혻came혻to혻us혻as혻a혻human혻and혻became혻the혻first혻fruit혻of혻resurrection혻by혻defeating혻the혻power혻of혻sins혻and혻death.혻(1.혻Cor혻15:20-21)혻
Anyone혻who혻believes혻in혻Jesus혻will혻get혻freedom혻from혻the혻death혻and혻join혻the혻grace혻of혻the혻resurrection.혻Jesus혻defeating혻the혻sins혻and혻death혻will혻save혻us혻out혻of혻curses혻and혻depressions.혻We혻are혻no혻more혻the혻children혻of혻the혻sins.혻Now,혻we혻can혻live혻as혻the혻children혻of혻God.혻Let혻us혻have혻victorious혻life혻in혻God혻every혻day.혻
2. Stand firm
Whatever혻we혻do,혻the혻foundation혻is혻important.혻Buildings혻and혻houses혻will혻be혻collapsed혻when혻a혻typhoon혻or혻big혻waves혻sweep혻over혻them혻if혻they혻don?셳혻have혻strong혻foundation.혻Likewise,혻we혻will혻be혻sunk혻when혻the혻temptations혻of혻sins혻and혻hardships혻test혻our혻lives혻if혻we혻don?셳혻have혻strong혻foundation혻of혻our혻faith.혻혻That혻is혻why혻Paul혻asked혻people혻not혻to혻grumble.혻Instead,혻Paul혻asked혻them혻not혻to혻be혻moved혻by혻anything.혻(1혻Cor.혻15:58)혻Our혻foundation혻of혻faith혻lies혻in혻the혻resurrection혻of혻Jesus.혻If혻we혻have혻strong혻foundation혻in혻the혻resurrection혻of혻Jesus,혻we혻can혻live혻with혻absolute혻faith혻by혻giving혻thanks혻to혻God혻positively혻in혻any혻situations.혻Let혻us혻become혻the혻man혻of혻having혻strong혻faith혻in혻order혻to혻please혻God.혻
3. Give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord
