RESURRECTION

                                                          
RESURRECTION






The resurrection of Jesus Christ secured victory over sin and death and enables Him to live as Advocate and Mediator.


So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

1 Corinthians 15:54-56 (KJV)


My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

1 John 2:1(KJV)


For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Timothy 2:5(KJV)


His resurrection guarantees the resurrection of all born again believers at His glorious return.


Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

John 11:25 (KJV)



If Jesus had not been raised from the dead, the Christian faith would be worthless and we would still be enslaved to sin.


And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

1 Corinthians 15:17 (KJV)


His resurrection was for the justification and eternal security of all born again believers.


Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Romans 4:25 (KJV)


Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 1:3-5 (KJV)



With Blessing in Christ,

David & Gay
