Romans 6:4-5 "We therefore were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be raised to life as He was."
The following is excerpted from www.bibleinfo.com/en/topics/bi… : The Bible promises that the dead will live again. John 5:28-29, NKJV. "Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation." Jesus has promised that He will come again. John 14:2-3, NKJV. "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." God promises that the dead will be raised again. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18, NKJV. "For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." John 11:25-26. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die." www.biblegateway.com/passage/?…

The above fractal is my entry into the annual Resurrection Sunday contest in the Christians group. It is created in Apophysis 7, by the grace and generosity of God, who brought from a random-generated batch the basic shape, and appropriate gradient. I have edited it pre-render to increase the complexity and inside swirls, and accentuate the colors, and of course adjust colors post-render on a black background. I was not aware before it rendered that it would have a green "ground" or that the swirls would be golden. In addition I did not realize that there would be 16 faces around the darker green circle, each with a heart on their forehead, that is, sealed with His mark for eternal life. Although this came about during my editing, it was without my knowledge and is therefore evidence of God's handiwork in it. Before render, I had tentatively called it "Target Acquired" and did not know it would have a strong Christian message and be in answer to my prayer that He create something resurrection-themed for this year's contest.

Finally, I wish to clarify that this is a symbolic picture as from the point of view of the Savior looking down upon the earth or "grave" as it gives up its dead -- for to those who are in Christ, death has been defeated and the grave cannot hold the children of God who are in Christ. We will live again, because He is Risen, Alleluia! biblehub.com/john/12-32.htm John 12:32 "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself. biblehub.com/john/10-28.htm John 10:28-29 "My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand. My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and the Father are one."
