ENDING
God's Not Dead (Like A Lion) - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song "God's Not Dead (Like A Lion)" by Newsboys is a powerful anthem of faith, a declaration of the living, active presence of God in our lives. It echoes the sentiment found in 1 Peter 5:8, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Yet, in the song, the lion is not a symbol of danger, but of God's power and might, His roaring presence in our lives.
The lyrics, "Let love explode and bring the dead to life," remind us of the transformative power of God's love, a theme that resonates with the story of Lazarus in John 11. Jesus, moved by love, brought Lazarus back to life, demonstrating that God's love is so bold, it can ignite a revolution, a resurrection.
The song also speaks of being "lost in Your freedom," a sentiment that aligns with Galatians 5:1, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." This freedom is not a license to do as we please, but the freedom to live a life of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). It's the freedom to overcome the world, just as Jesus did (John 16:33).
The chorus, "My God's not dead, He's surely alive. He's livin' on the inside, Roarin' like a lion," is a bold declaration of faith, a proclamation of the living God who dwells within us (1 Corinthians 3:16). It's a reminder that God is not a distant, detached deity, but a living, active, and present force in our lives.
The bridge, "Let Heaven roar and fire fall. Come shake the ground with the sound of revival," is a call for divine intervention, a plea for God to stir up a spiritual awakening. It echoes the prophet Elijah's prayer in 1 Kings 18:37-38, where he called on God to send fire from heaven to prove His power and presence to the people.
As we listen to this song and reflect on these scriptures, let's ask ourselves: How is God's love exploding in our lives, bringing dead areas back to life? How are we experiencing His freedom? How is the living, roaring God manifesting Himself in our lives? And how are we participating in the revival, the spiritual awakening that our world so desperately needs?
This song is not just a catchy tune; it's a call to action, a challenge to live out our faith in a real, tangible way. It's a reminder that our God is not dead, but surely alive, living on the inside, roaring like a lion.
