God Raised

April 14, 2022 12:01 am

The phrase “God raised” is used in both Testaments, with different emphases. That phrase graciously travels from Hebrew to Greek into Olde English, and to us. God raised up enemies for Solomon (1 Kings 11:23,14:7) when he was disobedient. Here the phrase means to strengthen someone that compares to our thoughts about Jesus coming back to life. (No, I have not done a complete word study.) God raised-Theos is God. Raised is egeiro. Strong: G1453       

This is for free. 1. A very general statement about the word “arise”. In our Old Testament, man says that the Lord should arise. In the New Testament, the Lord says that man needs to arise. (Very general statement.) 2. Joseph Prince in his devotional book for 3/23 thinks God raised Jesus because He was pleased with Him and the debt was satisfied and paid in full. Sounds good to me.   

Like my post “Jesus Knew”, I want this to be a reference work. My keywords were – resurrect, raised, and baptism. There are many stories that shadow the redemption story. Here are a few:

• Moses’ bronze snake.
• Jonah giving his life for the sailors and then being freed from the whale.

God gave Samson the strength to pull Baal’s temple down.

• Isaac being freed from the rock of sacrifice.
• Hosea redeeming his wayward wife.
• Abel died because of his righteous obedience.
• Passing through the Red Sea. (Going in death. Coming out new life.)
• Passing through the Jordan River. 

Jesus Said – In John 11:25 Jesus told Martha that He was the: 1. I Am 2. The Resurrection 3. Life. When He talked about resurrection, it was frequently with Heaven and Marriage. He also said things would be repaid then. One teaching on the Resurrection was a reply to the Sadducees during His teaching on the Temple Mount during Holy Week. It was about Heaven and Marriage and the power of I AM (Matthew 22: 23-33).

References in Psalms that are worth noting are 80:17, 89:48, 16:10, 119:153, and 49:9. 

The next sections are my meager attempt to group verses.

Witness –  

• Acts 2:31,32 – Peter to the crowd at Pentecost. He quotes David from Psalm 16:10.
• Acts 3:15 – Peter and John after the healing of the cripple.
• Acts 4:33 – The Apostles testified to the resurrection, and they had great power.
• Acts 10:40 – How He died, and that He was afterwards. 
• Acts 13:30 – God raised Him, and people saw Him.

Why God did it for Jesus –

• Acts 2:24 – to free Jesus from the agony of death, because it could not hold Him.
• Acts 13:34 + 37 – So, He would not see decay and receive the blessings of David.
• Romans 6:4 – That we may have a new life.
• Acts 2:32 – Jesus received the promised Holy Spirit and poured it on us.
• 1 Peter 1:21 – To glorify Jesus, to have our faith and hope in God.

Benefits for us –

• Acts 3:10 – To bless us by turning us from our wicked ways.
• Acts 4:10 – Healing in His name.
• Acts 5:30 – Jesus is at the right hand of God so Israel can repent and be forgiven.
• Romans 4:24 – Believing that God raised Jesus is credited to us as righteousness. 
• Romans 7:4 – That we may bear fruit for God.
• Romans 8:21 – Creation will be freed from decay and brought into glory.
• Romans 8:34 – Because Jesus is at the right hand of God, He is interceding for us.
• Romans 10:9 – If we declare Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved.
• 1 Corinthians 6:14 – God raised Jesus, He will raise us.
• 1 Corinthians 15:15 – If Christ was not raised, then no one can be raised from the dead. Vs 12 -58 is Paul’s treatise on the resurrection.
• Ephesians 2:6 – We are seated with Jesus in heavenly realms.
• 1 Peter 1:3 – We have a new birth and a living hope.

Baptism 

• Colossians 2:12 and 3:1.
• Romans 6:4
• 1 Peter 3:21 and 1:21

The message of the cross (God raised Jesus) should be what we are preaching if we want to see demonstrations of the Spirit’s power. 1 Corinthians 1:18 + 2:4
