Bible: 1 Corinthians 15:17-20
Title: The Conclusion of Faith is Resurrection
Jesus died during the Passover, now around March-April, and was resurrected on the third day. So it's not an exact date, but roughly around April we reminded ourselves. It reminds us of the religious and historical significance of the resurrection of Jesus. The decisive event of the Christian faith is the resurrection. I will share the sermon under the heading <The conclusion of faith is the resurrection>.
1. The Resurrection Confirmed Atonement
How can a person be assured that their sins are forgiven? For example, if you truly forgive, you will have to sublimate into a relationship that improves each other again, so that others will see you as forgiven. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). If sin is death and terror, then the atonement is life and peace. If you have received God's forgiveness, you should have the joy of living in harmony, not the fear of God. That is the joy of resurrection.
Ordinary religions have no objective way to ascertain God's true forgiveness. Because the headmaster has also died, and those principles are of little help to cultural history.
1 Corinthians 15:17-18 “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain, and you will still be in your sins, 18. And those who have fallen asleep in Christ will perish” (Limits of Religion in General)
If there is no resurrection and eternal life, it is said in verse 18, “Your faith is vain,” and how you lived.
Receiving atonement in Christianity should not be expressed as the virtue of humility, but should be confirmed by the joy of possessing resurrection and eternal life.
Ephesians 2:5 “He made us alive together with Christ, who were dead in our trespasses” (atonement is a new life), so if you believe in Jesus, you must change your life. With the joy of the atonement, the new life must now be dynamic (Romans 6:4).
2. The Resurrection Confirmed Life for the Value of Eternal Life
Usually, when we have a religion, we aim to achieve peace and blessings while we live in the world. Statistically, Christianity has received far more blessings from the world than people of other religions. However, Christianity does not dwell on the blessings of the world, but looks for the glory to be obtained in the eternal kingdom. When Jesus returns, we will be resurrected with such a body as the Lord (1 John 3:2), and we will shine as gloriously as we have lived for eternal worth (1 Corinthians 15:40-41).
1 Corinthians 15:19 “If all we hope in Christ is the life of this world, then of all men we are the most pitiful.”
If the saints have confirmed resurrection and eternal life, 2 Corinthians 4:18 “We pay attention not to what is seen, but to what is not seen, because what is seen is temporary, but what is not seen is eternal.”
Colossians 3:2 “Think of the things above, not the things of the earth” should come to mind.
The resurrection of Jesus is an event that shows the vision of eternal life beyond all worries about how to live on earth and the philosophies of religion. What is life and what is life, these questions have been settled. On the day we receive the resurrection body, all doubts will disappear and, in a word, the questions of life will be over.
What do you do if you believe in Jesus and go to church with the desire to receive blessings? I've met someone who came to get sick and left the church because he didn't get better.
At the age of 21, I was diagnosed with a serious disease that was difficult to heal at the time, and I waited for death without any medications. I received evangelism and left the church. However, I never went to be healed or prayed like that. After reading and praying, I was moved by the joy of heaven and was healed after two years. If I remember now, the time when I shed tears of the joy of the Holy Spirit while reading the Bible in a vertical writing in a state where I could only see in one eye day and night with a disease that stabbed my eyes and head without focus was more graceful than when I was healed I cried.
Eternal life faith exerts the power to overcome the world. The suffering of the cross can be an opportunity in the life of running for the reward of eternal heaven.
The Resurrection of the Lord Jesus is a marvelous event that confirmed the Atonement and made the value of eternal life our philosophy. How perfect is this world of faith? If there is no resurrection, there is no reason to become a Christian. Resurrection is not only Easter Sunday, but I hope it will be me and you who want to give thanks and spread the word for the rest of your life.
