The Resurrection
After His death on the Cross, Jesus lay in the grave for three days (Matt 12:40). Then - God raised His Son from the dead! (Read Mathew 28.) "...and who through the Spirit of Holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom 1:4.
4. To Give You:
a) Victory Over Satan. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome the world, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world [Satan]... for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God (1 Jn 4:4;5:4,5). See also Colossians 2:13-15.

b) Authority Over Satan. After His resurrection, ...Jesus Christ... has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand with angels, authorities and powers [this includes Satan] in submission to him (1 Pet 3:21,22). See also Luke 10:17-19. c) Power Over Satan. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know... his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at this right hand in the heavenly realms, for above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills every thing in every way (Eph 1:18-23) See also Mark 16:15-18, Acts 1:8 and 4:33.
B. THE RESURRECTION MEETS EVERY NEED OF LIFE 1. It Is Your Deliverance From The PAST
Your old sinful life w as put to death on the Cross with Jesus, and buried with Him in the grave. Then, when Jesus was raised to life again, you were raised with Him as a new creation leaving behind your old life in Jesus' grave! We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life... the death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus (Rom 6:4-11). See also Ephesians 2:1-7 and Colossians 2:12-15.

famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loves us... (Rom 8:3139).
