Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Christianity would collapse like a house of cards.
Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Every major Christian doctrine depends on the resurrection. The following seven serve as examples:
- SALVATION BY FAITH: 1 Corinthians 15:17
- JUSTIFICATION BEFORE GOD: Romans 4:24,25
- PEACE WITH GOD: Romans 5:21
- THE INTERCESSORY MINISTRY OF CHRIST: Hebrews 7:24,25
- THE PROMISE OF THE SECOND COMING: Titus 2:13
- THE HOPE OF OUR BODILY RESURRECTION: 1 Corinthians 6:14
- INDIVIDUAL JUDGMENT FOR ALL MEN: Acts 17:31
This Easter experience God's greatness through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
