The resurrection is not just a cause for Easter celebration, though it is an opportunity to truly celebrate our risen Savior. The resurrection is the very means by which God chose to grant us favor with God. If Christ was not raised, we of all people are to be pitied!
In this episode we seek to understand resurrection on a doctrinal level, while being equipped with empowering truths to encourage our walks with Christ.
The question we are answering today is what does the resurrection truly do for Christians?
- Completes righteousness for our sake.
- We are made right with God because of the resurrection. Rom. 4:2
- Our faith isn't just dependent on Christ's finished work,His raising to life literally makes us right with God!
- His work on the cross bore the wrath of God for us, but God's favor was earned for us by Jesus raising from the dead!
- Empowers your life as a Christian.
- God's work in you as a Christian
- Two implications here
- Victory over sin in this life, even though we will never be sinless on earth. (Rom. 6:4)
- Power to evangelize! (Acts 1:8)
- Guarantees our resurrection.
- Christ didn't merely raise to life again, He CONQUERED sin and death through His resurrection. (Romans 6)
- We are promised resurrected bodies, a wonderful promise we have for eternity. (1 Cor 6:14)
- False beliefs.
- Does not guarantee salvation
- It is about us
- Gives example for modern day physical resurrections
The focus of the resurrection is on the Deity of Christ, His victory over sin and death, and believing in Jesus so that we may eternal life in Him.
