Sanctification.
Christ's resurrection was for more than our salvation; He rose again so that we might experience an amazing life here on earth as well.
"...Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life." v.4
"But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness." v.17
Form. "The Greek word means 'mold' such as a craftsman would use to cast molten metal. God pours His new children into the mold of divine truth." Wow! John MacArthur.
God does not expect us to be able to go through our daily lives avoiding sin all by ourselves. He has sanctified us; God is producing actual righteousness in the believer so that our lives may be abundant!
...life is worth the living just because He lives!
