Raised Up

Book Cover & Preview Text
The downward bowing saint is perpetually upheld by His free Spirit (Ps. 51:12) As we are “Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,” His resurrection life is propelling us upward (Jn. 11:25; 2 Cor. 4:10). The crucified disciple, by the divine power of Jesus Christ working in him, is moved forward and upward into blessed fruitfulness to Heaven’s glory. As the cross is taken up, “the life also of Jesus” is “made manifest in our body.”
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you … Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-14

About the Author
To establish sound doctrine in the hearts of God's people, that they might abide in His safety and the purity of His truth (Ps. 119; Prov. 30:5; 2 Tim. 2:15; 3:16-17). The creation and development of Scripture-intensive resources to build up Christ’s body, including leaders, and the creation and distribution of evangelistic tools for the winning of lost souls into the kingdom of God. To preach, warn, and teach divine truth while encouraging individual believers to learn God’s Word for themselves (Col. 1:28). One of the central thrusts of our calling and service to Christ is to prayerfully, biblically, and diligently safeguard the souls of His people from deception by establishing in their hearts the final authority and eternal blessings associated with being personally rooted and grounded in His Word and in His love (Prov. 22:17-21; Jn. 5:39; Acts 20:20-32; Phil. 3:1; 2 Tim. 2:15; 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:3-4,12-21; 1 Jn. 2:24-33; 4:1-3; 2 Jn. 7-11; Rev. 2:1-5).
