Acts 13:34 (NAS)
And
as for the fact that
He raised Him up from the dead, no more to return to decay, He has spoken in
this way: ‘I WILL GIVE YOU THE HOLY and SURE blessings OF DAVID.’
Acts 13:34 (NIVUS)
The
fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these
words: "‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’
Adonai, the Most High God, always keeps His promises and He promised that His only begotten Son would not remain in the realm of the dead. God, therefore, raised Him up. Yeshua simply stood up from the stone bier that held His lifeless body. He was kept intact and escaped safely from death. God upheld and sustained His Son's authority and power.
Now the Lord God will never again see corruption or destruction. His body will not undergo decay. His vigor and strength will not be consumed. His suffering is finished and He is now glorified. He is undefiled by sin and free from wickedness. He is pure and holy. He is in harmony with His Father.
Since Jesus has been raised from the dead, you now have escaped its sting. Like the Lord, you will be glorified. Purity and holiness are normal for you. And you sing the same harmonious song with the Lord your God.
