This document contains several biblical passages and reflections on resurrection, life, sin, death, and God's power and faithfulness. It discusses Jesus telling Martha that her brother Lazarus will rise again from John 11. It also references God not forsaking his people from 1 Samuel 12, God leading in righteousness from Psalm 23, and preaching by the power of God not man's wisdom from 1 Corinthians 2. The document contrasts resurrection and life with sin and death, and says drawing near to God leads to life while forsaking him leads to death, as referenced from Deuteronomy 30. It concludes that if God can remake the universe, he can remake people as well.
