For those who have carried their cross and through faith have practiced resurrection, these, like their Master, shall never die. For if we practice our dying, we who are in Christ practice His resurrection, which is ours also.
If we practice resurrection our energies are oriented forever towards God and towards life. If the energy of our being is unbound by despair, deception, depravity, discouragement, and through faith we overcome each of these trials in life do you not know that those who have so oriented themselves cannot help but be raised? Even though our bodies die those who are well practiced in dying and rising can do nothing other than rise again with Him.
As it say's "But now, Christ has been raised from the dead. The first fruits of those who have fallen asleep". If, in Christ, death does has no victory over us in life, how shall it have victory in death?
