Today is the day of Salvation... In Christ Jesus!
2 Corinthians 6:2 “For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
The great news for all is:
• God is not wanting to judge you!
• God does not want to punish you!
• God does not want you to be... Separated from Him for eternity!
• God is a MERCIFUL God... and He has done everything possible
to save His creation from their sin.
☑️ Sin is serious business!
☑️ We were all born sinners!
☑️ God will one day judge the worlds sin! All will face God’s judgment one day...
☑️ IF we remain in our sin... There is a penalty... Which is the second death
The Good News is... However... That because of God’s MERCY, GRACE & LOVE... God has made it possible for anyone to escape this the second death!
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
Ephesians 2:4-5 “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—“
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
God gave us the greatest gift ever... He gave us His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus came into this world having only having one main mission... To pay the penalty for our sins.
Philippians 2:6-8...
6 “who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God ra thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a tservant, being born in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”
Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
The MERCY, GRACE & LOVE of God — Is FULLY dependent upon the person of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is A gift for ALL!
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the PILLAR of our Christian faith.
Without the RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ... There is no Christian faith!
• Everything that we believe
• Everything that we hope for
• Everything about Christianity...
HINGES... on the facts... That lead us to believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead!
IF anyone could prove that Jesus Christ was not resurrected... That person would go down in the history books... As the one who destroyed the Christian faith.
Guess what... For more than 2000 years so MANY have tried... No one has ever succeeded!
-----------------------------
John 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the
truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
The Christian faith is 100% All about The Resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
The RESURRECTION CHANGES EVERYTHING
1️⃣ It proves who Jesus is!
Romans 1:4 “and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,”
2️⃣ It makes forgiveness possible!
1 Corinthians 15:14-17
14 “And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised.
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.”
Hebrews 9:27-28 “
27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
3️⃣ It solidifies our Salvation!
Romans 10:9-10
9 “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
Jesus Christ came for one purpose... To save YOU!
John 10:10b “He came that you might have life and life more abundantly.”
Jesus did not die just so that all the “good people” could be saved!
He died so that EVERYONE ... Who would call upon the name of Jesus Christ would be saved!
• Good.... Bad...
• Beautiful... Ugly...
• Rich.... Poor...
It does not matter... If you call on the name of the Lord you will be saved!!!
John 10:10 “The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but I have come that you may have life and life more abundantly.”
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ... Can give you LIFE!!!
It is your decision!
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
