    Contributed by David Leach on May 28, 2014
     | 4,337 views

    For a Christian to live "ln Christ" is the central doctrine of the New Testament. Except for limited portions that focus on the start of the Christian life by being born again, most of the New Testament is addressed to and can only be understood by Christians living "ln Christ".

    Avoid these pitfalls of disobedience - the temptation to rationalize it, to belittle it, to blame it, to give excuses for it, to please man rather than God.

    Not only do we have a God given purpose to fulfill while on earth, believers have the power of the Holy Spirit to enable us to succeed because Christ is risen!

Raising people from the dead is a pretty magnificent work I doubt any one of us could pull off, let alone attempt. At this point, however, I think it might be good for ...read more
