Philippians 3:10
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”
δύναμις
The root of our word dynamite. But dunamis is not explosive destruction — it is the inherent ability to accomplish what needs to be done. Jesus says you will receive this power. Not work for it, earn it or deserve it. Receive it. The Holy Spirit is not a reward. He is a gift.
ἀνάστασις
Resurrection

ἀνάστασις
Ana — up again. Stasis — standing. To stand up again. Jesus does not say He will cause resurrection. He says I am the resurrection. He is not a mechanism through which life returns — He is the source of life itself. Wherever He is, death cannot have the final word.
