What is the meaning of 1 Corinthians 6:14? By His power God’s action is energized by His own limitless strength, not by human effort. This same power spoke the universe into existence (Psalm 33:6) and sustains all things (Hebrews 1:3). Paul later calls it “the incomparable greatness of His power toward us who believe” (Ephesians 1:19-20), the very power that raised Jesus and now works in us. Because this power is personal and purposeful, we can trust Him completely when He promises resurrection life. God raised the Lord The resurrection of Jesus is historical, bodily, and central to the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Acts 2:32 declares, “God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.” The Father’s act of raising His Son validates every claim Jesus made, demonstrates divine approval of His atoning work (Romans 4:25), and confirms that death could not hold the sinless Son (Acts 2:24). from the dead Resurrection is not mere spiritual survival; it is triumph over physical death. Jesus emerged with a glorified yet tangible body that ate, spoke, and could be touched (Luke 24:39-43; John 20:27). Revelation 1:18 celebrates that He now holds “the keys of Death and Hades,” assuring believers that the grave’s finality has been shattered. and He will raise us also The promise extends to every follower of Christ. “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ will also give life to your mortal bodies” (Romans 8:11). Jesus Himself pledged, “Everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:40). This future resurrection is bodily (Philippians 3:20-21), certain (1 Thessalonians 4:14), and glorious (1 John 3:2), anchoring our hope and shaping our daily choices for purity and faithfulness (1 Corinthians 6:13). summary 1 Corinthians 6:14 proclaims that the same divine power that raised Jesus will raise His people. God’s resurrection of the Lord is the proof; our future resurrection is the promise. Both flow from the sovereign power of God, guaranteeing victory over death and inviting us to live now in confidence, holiness, and hope. |
