Truly, those who are saved by grace have many reasons to rejoice in who they are and what they have in the Lord Jesus Christ.
But It seems that our world is in a mess. Sometimes we allow it to steal the glory that God has placed in our hearts. This shouldn’t be.
John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Thank God, three days after His death on the cross, Jesus came out of His tomb, victorious over death, Hell and the grave - Matt. 28:1-6.
With this in mind, the saints of God can face death with confidence, knowing that one day, these bodies will live again. If the body dies, the spirit lives on, 2 Cor. 5:8.
Because He lives, we can face the uncertain days in this world and after.
Because He Lives

“God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus — He came to love, heal and forgive. — He lived and died to buy my pardon. — An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Chorus:
“Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. — Because He lives, all fear is gone. — Because I know He holds the future, —
And life is worth the living — Just because He lives.
“How sweet to hold a newborn baby — And feel the pride and the joy he gives. — But greater still the calm assurance — This child can face uncertain days because He Lives.
“And then one day, I’ll cross that river — I’ll fight life’s final war with pain. — And then as death gives way to vict’ry — I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns.”
William J. Gaither and Gloria Gaither
