Power of the New Life
The Power of New Life
By Pastor Alexander L Redd
OOctober4, 2025
“If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” (Romans 8:11).
When the Spirit of Christ lives in you, everything changes. Your past, failures, or fears no longer define you. The old life, weighed down by sin and death, has been broken by Jesus’ victory on the cross. Through His resurrection, death has been defeated once and for all.
This new life isn’t something you keep tucked away. It’s visible and real. Your thoughts begin to change. God’s Word shapes your desires. Hope takes root where despair once lived. The evidence of Christ’s transforming power becomes clear to those around you, and it's not because you’ve become flawless, but because His Spirit is at work within you.
Never underestimate what God has placed inside of you. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in you today. That means you carry resurrection power wherever you go. So walk boldly in this truth: you have been made new. Death is conquered, and the life of Christ shines through you for the world to see.
