"Being sons of the resurrection" (Luke 20:36)

Jesus answered to Sadducee's' question on the resurrection of the dead, he described the resurrected believers as "sons of the resurrection." Have you ever thought of our nature here on earth as the sons of the resurrection?

Yes, we are promised in Christ Jesus that we are positionally, the sons of the resurrection. So the only thing we have to ask is that do we live like one? Jesus described farther saying that we can't die no more, being equal to the angels and we are the sons of God.

If we live we live to our Lord. Paul said, "for to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Phil.1:21) You may ask, 'how shall I live for Christ?' Interestingly, the answer is simple. By obeying and doing His words. Every Christians are to be Christ-like followers in each moment of our lives. That is called 'living.' If we do not change in our characters and hearts, probably we are dead. Dead in spirit and in life. There is a life called "abundant life" which Jesus claimed that He came to give us. That abundant life must be experienced by every Christians here on earth. He promised us. The truth is, even Christians, some time have no experience of it. The reason is that we are being dead and not living. Luke 20:38, Jesus said, "For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him." Let us all live to Him, by Him and for Him alone. If you still wondering 'how,' hear this Psalms said;

"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."Ps.16:11

God bless!
