I <strong>AM</strong> : M. M. Ninan<br />

Jerusalem 2000 years ago. It is this resurrection power that Jesus<br />

offers to every believer. A believer is not resurrected immediately.<br />

But the force of decay is abated. But for the realization of this into<br />

reality - we have to wait for it. Resurrection is not an accomplished<br />

fact for man yet. It is an offer. It starts the minute one puts his faith<br />

in Jesus Christ.<br />

1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.<br />

The same choice that Adam had is still with man. Will you choose<br />

life?<br />

John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He<br />

who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and<br />

believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"<br />

4. REALIZATION OF RESURRECTION.<br />

We are still awaiting this realization, even though we have the<br />

Holy Spirit within us.<br />

Don’t be led astray by those who profess that the resurrection has<br />

taken place. Paul has clearly warned us against such false teachers.<br />

2 Tim 2:15-18 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a<br />

workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the<br />

word of truth.<br />

Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more<br />

and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them<br />

are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have wandered away from the truth.<br />

They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy<br />

the faith of some.<br />
