The Importance Of Christ's Resurrection

[complete]

THE IMPORTANCE OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION.
- 2 Timothy 2 vs 8 ---
- The Resurrection of Christ is the centrepiece of the Gospel. Without Christ's Resurrection, His Death and Burial becomes ineffective to save Sinners. If Christ did not resurrect, then, the very Foundation of the Christian Faith, Christ's Cross-Work, is rendered unfinished and incomplete. And consequently, the Cornerstone of Christianity is destroyed (1 Corinthians 15 vs 14).
- Proper evangelism today must include the Resurrection of Christ. No one could be a Christian, if Christ Jesus did not rise from the Dead (2 Timothy 1 vs 9 - 10). So, the following points from the Book of Romans perfectly highlights the importance of Christ's Resurrection :

1.) The P R O O F Of Christ's DIVINITY.
"Declared to be the Son of God"
— Romans 1 vs 4 —
Jesus Christ could exercise all the Power of Life and Death, which only God Almighty has control over (John 10 vs 17 - 18). CHRIST'S RESURRECTION IS THE SIGN OF HIS DIVINITY, as He promised the Jews (John 2 vs 18 - 19). God the Father attested to the authenticity of His Son, at His Baptism (Matthew 3 vs 16 - 17). Again, by raising Jesus Christ from the Dead, God the Father validated Christ's teachings, and confirmed Christ's identity as the Son of God (Romans 6 vs 4). The Spirit of Holiness also declared to us in Inspired Scriptures, that the Sinless Jesus Christ is indeed God manifest in the Flesh (1 Timothy 3 vs 16). Therefore, as the infallible proof of His Divine Nature, the Resurrected Lord Jesus Christ shewed Himself alive to Israel's Apostles after His passion, and last of all to Paul. — 1 Corinthians 15 vs 1 - 11 —

2.) Christ's P O S I T I O N As The JUDGE.
"God shall judge … by Jesus Christ"
— Romans 2 vs 16 —
God the Father has appointed a Day in which He shall judge the World through Jesus Christ, the God-Man (John 5 vs 22 - 30). Christ Jesus shall judge both Believers and Unbelievers (2 Timothy 4 vs 1). The Body of Christ shall receive Rewards for meritorious service to God, at that future Judgement Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5 vs 10). But at the Great White Throne Judgement, Christ shall judge Unbelievers (Revelation 20 vs 11 - 15). On that Judgement Day, CHRIST'S OMNISCIENCE SHALL SCRUTINISE THE HEARTS OF MEN, to determine the degree of their guilt and Punishment (Romans 2 vs 16). Christ's Humanity and Divinity qualifies Him as the Righteous Judge, ordained by God for that Day (Acts 17 vs 30 - 31). So then, Christ needed to resurrect, in order to bring true Justice and Peace to this evil World. — 1 Corinthians 15 vs 24 - 28 ---

3.) Christ's P A Y M E N T For Our SINS.
"Raised again for our Justification"
— Romans 4 vs 25 —
Christ's Resurrection implies that God the Father was satisfactorily appeased with Christ's Substitutionary Sacrifice, the sufficient punishment and complete payment for all our sins (Romans 3 vs 23 - 26). We know that the wages of Sin is Death. Hypothetically, if Christ is not risen, then He is still Dead in the tomb, still paying for our Sins (1 Corinthians 15 vs 17). But thankfully, God was well pleased to raise up Christ from the Dead. This Divine act reveals that God the Father accepted Christ's Blood Atonement, as the total and final payment for all our Sins (Ephesians 5 vs 2). Amen. Just as Romans 4 verse 25 strongly indicates, Christ's Resurrection proves His Own Righteousness, and THAT THE PAYMENT IS FINISHED, and that God's Justice against all our Sins was eternally satisfied. Without Christ's Resurrection in Righteousness, we would never be Justified by Faith. — 1 Corinthians 15 vs 12 - 19 —

4.) The P L A C E For Our SANCTIFICATION.
"Death hath no more dominion over Him"
— Romans 6 vs 9 —
It was after His Resurrection that the Ascended and Glorified Lord Jesus Christ appeared to Paul, and revealed to him the Mystery, which affected the Gospel of Salvation, and Sanctification in Christ (Ephesians 3 vs 1 - 6). This Mystery of Christ explains that by One Spirit, are we all Baptised into One Body, the New Creature, where we are complete in Christ, just as God is complete (1 Corinthians 12 vs 13). Our communion as Members of the Body of Christ, and our identification with Christ the Head, cannot result in our possession of Life Eternal, if Christ our Saviour is not yet risen (Ephesians 5 vs 25 - 30). There is no Eternal Life in a Dead Saviour. Therefore, it was necessary for Christ to resurrect, in order TO REVEAL THE MYSTERY BODY, so that, we may now know Christ, as the place for our Sanctification today. (2 Corinthians 5 vs 16 - 17). Else, what Hope is there in a Dead Saviour? — 2 Corinthians 15 vs 29 - 34 ---

5.) The P A T T E R N For Our RESURRECTION.
"Shall also quicken your mortal bodies"
— Romans 8 vs 11 —
Christ's Resurrected Body is the Pattern for our future Resurrection Bodies (Philippians 3 vs 20 - 21). God our Creator shall not abandon our Earthly Bodies. Our physical Bodies shall be gloriously resurrected (Romans 8 vs 23). Just as God the Father raised up Christ by the Holy Spirit, so also, our future bodily resurrection shall be parallel to Christ's bodily Resurrection - a TRINITARIAN RESURRECTION (Romans 8 vs 11). Christ's physical resurrection and that of all the Believers cannot be separated. Hypothetically, without Christ's Resurrected Body, we would have no Prototype, no Precedent, no Pattern for our future Resurrected Bodies (1 Corinthians 15 vs 47 - 49). But as the Firstfruits from the Dead, Christ's Resurrected and Glorified Body now represents, guarantees, anticipates and foreshadows our own future Resurrected and Glorified Bodies (1 Corinthians 15 vs 21 - 23). Amen. Our present diseased, decaying and dying Adamic Earthy Bodies are THE PRECURSORS to our future Incorruptible, Glorified, Immortal, Spiritual and Christ-like Heavenly Bodies. — 1 Corinthians 15 vs 42 - 49 ---

6.) Christ's P O W E R Over DEATH.
"Lord both of the Dead and Living"
— Romans 14 vs 9 —
Theoretically, the Earthly Ministry of Jesus Christ would have ended in tragic defeat, if Jesus Christ did not rise from the Dead. But Christ's Resurrection is the Everlasting Victory over Death our Enemy (2 Timothy 1 vs 9 - 10). By traversing the domains of Death and Life, Christ Jesus, through His Resurrection, demonstrated His Supreme authority over Life and Death. So that, in passing through these realms, in our own turn as Believers, we never cease to be His. In Any Existence, CHRIST IS ALWAYS OUR LORD (Romans 14 vs 7 - 9). Indeed, Christ's Resurrection destroyed the Slavemaster Devil, and also Death the King of Terrors, that reigned ruthlessly over Mankind (Hebrews 2 vs 14 - 15). Since the only way to permanently destroy Death in Man is to cause a Resurrection into Life, God by His Grace has already given us Christ's Resurrection Victory over the terrible curse of Death. Praise God. — 1 Corinthians 15 vs 50 - 58

7.) The P R O P H E C I E S In SCRIPTURE.
"HE that shall rise to Reign over the Gentiles"
— Romans 15 vs 12 —
In fulfilment of Isaiah 53, God prolonged the Days of His Suffering Servant, by the Resurrection of Christ (Isaiah 53 vs 10). The Sign of the Prophet Jonas, spoken of by Jesus Christ, that "Three Days and Three Nights", was fulfilled through the Miracle of His Resurrection, just as Jesus Christ prophesied (Matthew 12 vs 39 - 40). The Cross of Calvary is the place where they crucified the Lord Jesus. They pierced His Hands and His Feet. But God heard His cries and raised Him up from the Dead, just as written in the Psalms (Psalms 22 vs 16 - 18). The Empty Tomb, the place of Christ's Resurrection, displayed God's fulfilled promise to preserve from corruption the Soul and Body of His HOLY ONE, just as King David prophesied (Psalm 16 vs 9 - 10). The Hope of Israel became the Hope of the Gentiles. Christ's Resurrection, Exaltation and Reign on God's Throne, fulfils God's plan, His intention that the Gentiles should also Glorify God for His Mercy, Love and Grace. So, Christ's Resurrection fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies in the Old Testament. — Romans 15 vs 8 - 13 —

In conclusion, we see that the Resurrection of Christ is central to Paul's Gospel (2 Timothy 2 ). The testimony of the Apostle Paul requires the Resurrected, Ascended and Glorified Lord Jesus Christ. Otherwise, Paul's Conversion and Mystery Ministry is the greatest Fraud in the history of Christianity (1 Corinthians 15 vs 12 - 20). Whatever reason that the twelve Apostles of Israel may give for their ignorance of Christ's Resurrection, it should never be our excuse today (Luke 18 vs 31 - 34). Because our comfort in the Grace Life now, and OUR BLESSED HOPE OF BODILY RESURRECTION is solidly founded on Christ's Resurrection (1 Thessalonians 4 vs 13 - 18). Even Israel's Lively Hope is also rooted in Christ's Resurrection (1 Peter 1 vs 3 - 4). Therefore, the importance of Christ's Resurrection in our Gospel presentation today cannot be overemphasised. Amen. — 1 Corinthians 15 vs 3 - 4 --- Amen.

Paroles and early releases leave one's criminal history on the books. That's not a
good thing because those histories will be examined at the great white throne event
depicted by Rev 20:11-15. It's crucial that people get their histories wiped prior to
that day so that when the books are opened, it will look as though they've never
been anything but innocent their entire lives. That way God will have nothing with
which to accuse them.

● Rom 4:25 . . He was delivered over to death for our sins, and was raised to life
for our justification.

The Greek word translated "justification" roughly pertains to a verdict of innocence
due to lack of sufficient evidence to convict, viz: exoneration.

Note that Jesus' crucifixion alone wasn't sufficient to gain folks exoneration, viz:
had his crucified dead body not been restored to life, we'd all remain in very grave
danger of facing justice at the great white throne event.

● 1Cor 15:17 . . If Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless, and you
are still under condemnation for your sins.

FAQ: How might an interested party obtain this exoneration?

REPLY: Find a quiet moment. Cover your face with your hands to give yourself a sense
of privacy and simply speak with God saying, in so many words:

"God, I'm a sinner with a lot to answer for. I would like to take advantage of your son's
death and resurrection if I may. Thank You."

I have no idea where you got that from , Our history, will be erase. and not appear at "The Bema SEAT" or At The "WHITE THRONE" Judgment.
your Quote:
" It's crucial that people get their histories wiped prior to
that day so that when the books are opened, it will look as though they've never
been anything but innocent their entire lives"

Every thing we have said and did and thought is recorded and will be presented at "the JudgMent Seat of Christ and for "those who will appear at "The Great White throne Judgment" we all will be Judge, 'The Rapture" then Appearing at "the BEMA SEAT" The judgment seat of Christ and every thing we have said and Thought and done after we Had been "Convented" And Those who will Appear at The great White Throne will also will be Judge,


You better read you bible, because evidently you have Skip some pages. matter of fact a lot of pages.

and everything that is spoken right now and what is being written is being recorded and documented in The Halls of Justice.

Have you forgotten 'That "The PARAKLETOS" is a person and that person lives in us, The one that Jesus Christ sent back to live in us. He is The "Witness" to everything you have said and done and everything that affects you, every word that has been spoken to you every insult, every rock and every bug that has bitten you. He has recored it all and will present it all at "The Bema SEAT" in Glory when You appear at the Moment you be raptured. You will appear. and Give An Account of Your "STEWARDSHIP" we do not get by that Easy. you are going to Give Account. you will get put on The Hot Seat! "Kemosabe"

No no It does go like that.

You do not just slide under the radar, You are going to give an account

He HIs going to Burn all that Dross off of you! You are going to be Like Pure GOLD, when he get through with you!! and we you see Him you are going to be just like Him! Shinning like The SUN! He is going to Burn it All off!

Sounds like you have been talking to "T D JAKES" and "JOEL OSTEEN" and "Joyce Meyers"

 

[PloughBoy]

He is Going to Burn it all off! you can run but you Cannot hide, You are going to be Tried By FIRE!

FAQ: How is it not a miscarriage of justice to allow folks to circumvent their
responsibility simply by believing Jesus died for their sins and rose again?

REPLY: God-- in some mysterious way that has thus far eluded my sense of fair
play --accounts Christ's followers as joint principals with him in his crucifixion.
(Rom 6:3, Rom 6:6, Gal 2:20)

God also counts them as joint principals with Christ in his resurrection.
(Rom 6:4-5)

So then, seeing as Christ will never again be put to death for sin, and from now on
is permanently immortal (Rom 6:9-10) then the same is true for his followers, i.e.
never again will they be in danger of the wages of sin-- and along with their
freedom, have immortality in the bag.
(Rom 6:11)

"Condemnation and Judgment " are completely 2 different things in "Biblical Terminology" I cannot be your "theological Encyclopedia \" "ISBE" that is your job. like The Theological definition for the Words" "lord' "Lord" "LORD" and "LORD" have 4 different meanings,, "Sin" and "iniquities" "sins of Omissions" "Presumptions Sins" remember we are reading a translation and The translation cannot be word for word. A Good and reliable Bible explains all of this, A cheap bible with basic will not. But will have enough in the translation, for salvation but not plainly explain, how one should live, once they have been saved. and bring to an understanding of the Bible they are reading and explain to the owner or the reader how to read this particular Bible and how it was "translated" and if it is a translation of another translation and who translated it and their credential. Be it a group or committee and their names. and the authority that they have to take on such s task.

Like when buying any model of car, A stove, A bike, A toaster, A motorcycle,, A boat, A lawnmower.

And if "ETERNAL LIFE" is very important to you, how valuable is That Instruction Book, what kind of Instruction book you want? "dime store copy" or A "Cadillac", "Rolls" "Mercedes Benz", "Corvette", "Ferrari", or A "Lamborghini".

I got A Garage full with an addition added. Late models: "Sports model" "Luxury" "every day model" " Model A And Model T. "Station Wagon" "MiniVan". "Pickup truck", "Dump truck", and A "Semi-truck" and A "Road Service truck" and a "Call Hauler" with Cars on it! "ETERNAL LIFE" all Pointed that way!

Bibles, I got the right ones, "by "Copyright" specification. You name it, and I know how to "Drive em" 5 Speed, 3 Speed, 4 in the floor, and a 15 speed overdrive, 475 caterpillar, 4:36 Rears, 24,5 LP High dollar Rubber.
Almost 50 years now, Driving them Bibles and have worn some out, that pages look blank as if someone took a eraser and rub them out.

Most people think heaven, I went beyond Heaven, I wanted to know My maker, I bypass heaven and kept going.

Since I been a little kid, I wanted to know my maker. And I used to look up into the skies on Saturday mornings and watch The blues skies and the clouds, wondering about him, I Have never stop!

I have met, and I Know, after "trillions and trillions of earth years in "Glory" I still will not have even touch the hem of his garment. Growing every Moment Through Out All "Eternity" Where There Is No End, We Will Have Not Touch As If A Grain Of Sand Of The Wisdom And The Knowledge Of "Our Father" Who Is "THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY GOD" I am over whelm, what he has done for us in "Christ Jesus' which The Old Testament "Prophets of GOD" or Moses never saw us Coming! they prophesy But they did not know what it meant. Hidden In Christ Jesus. and only "Unveil By Him only" Hidden in Him. from the Foundations of the world,

The resurrection is also important to the 1st day of the week worship folks to use to justify their change of rest and worship from the 7th day of the week to the 1st day of the week.

The resurrection is also important to the 1st day of the week worship folks to use to justify their change of rest and worship from the 7th day of the week to the 1st day of the week.

There is nothing important about the 1st. day of the week. But that happens to be the Day he got up. The power is in the resurrection and not the day! the only day of the week is "holy" is the 7th day of the week! I can read and with comprehension> and and "GOD" and He is "Immutible"

"Remember the 7th day of the week and keep it Holy"

He ain't change his mind.
The 10 Commandments

• You shall have no other God's before me.
• Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images. ...
• Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. ...
• Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy. ...
• Honor your father and mother. ...
• Thou shalt not kill. ...
• Thou shalt not commit adultery. ...
• Thou shalt not steal.

Now the ones that thinks he has, change his mind, Ok, we sure will find out! the 1st. day of the week have never been holy but in a sense been "set aside" that what will happen! he just happen to get up that day ,because like "Judas" it was "ordained" and decreed to be so.
