出死入生

Passed from death to life!

People of the world value 出生入死, but those who are of Christ value the fact that we have already 出死入生 in Him!

Christ as our Example 
- He laid down His life (John 3:16) 
- so that we who believe in Him can 出死入生 (Jn 5:24)

Christians as imitators
- love our brothers as an evidence to our 出死入生 (1Jn 3:14) and 
- so that we can be willing to die for them (1Jn 3:16)
