GRACE 2 Corinthians 4:13-15 Part 1 of 2

It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 

It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken."  
Psalm 116:10-11  I trusted in the LORD when I said, "I am greatly afflicted"; in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."

since we have the same spirit of faith 
1 Corinthians 12:9  ... to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, ...

because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead 
Acts 2:24  "But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him."

will also raise us with Jesus 
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17  For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
