Title: Two Resurrections
Romans 8:9-11 ‘9. If the Spirit of God dwells in you, then you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not of Christ. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness. Nira,
11. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.' - Amen.
Religion was created in the world along with the atonement to clarify the vague but dubious longing for the afterlife. However, although the concept is uncertain and there is no salvation, Christianity confirms the content of salvation through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Resurrection in Christianity can be said to have two kinds of resurrection: the regeneration of the soul and the resurrection of the body.
1. Resurrection in which the soul is born again by the Holy Spirit
In order to become a true believer regardless of religious life or position in the organization, you must put on regeneration by the Holy Spirit and be with the Holy Spirit until the end of the world.
Text, Romans 8:9 “If the Spirit of God dwells in you, you are not in the flesh but in the spirit. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not of Christ.”
If you go to church, you are called a member. However, not everyone can become a saint, but only the understanding of the Holy Spirit must be able to speak. From believing and realizing Jesus as the Christ, positive responses to various biblical ideas appear, and the goal of life lies in God.
Text, Romans 8:10 “And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.”
Some are alive and dead, and some are dead and alive.
John 5:25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.”
2. The resurrection of the body
No teacher in the world has been resurrected. Even the magicians of Egypt saw the miracle of making snakes with their staffs, but they could not overcome death. Jesus conquered death. This is the result of victory over all religions. Shakyamuni died like ordinary people and was buried in Nepal, but Jesus was resurrected with an immortal body and ascended to heaven.
The resurrection of the body will be received by those who are already spiritually born again. Text, Romans 8:11 “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”
1 Corinthians 15:52 “When the trumpet sounds, the dead will be raised to immortality, and we will be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:42).
Christianity is the ultimate goal of the Resurrection and the goal of God the Father.
John 6:40 “For my Father’s will is that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him has eternal life, and I will raise it up on the last day.”
1 Corinthians 15:17 “Unless Christ is raised, your faith is in vain, and you are still in your sins.”
That is why Paul said in Philippians 3:11, “I will somehow reach the resurrection from the dead.”
The essential religious purpose of Christianity is to make life reconciled to the state of being separated from God, and to obtain eternal life in the next life. Welfare and education are not the missionary purpose of Christianity.
First, we must be faithful to the gospel of God's salvation in order to receive spiritual resurrection.
And for the reward that will be resurrected at the Lord's second coming and shared with us, afterlife-oriented lessons and covenants must be proclaimed. If the soul is born again, it will not be crushed by the culture of the world under any circumstances. However, the value of resurrection-new existence must be able to demonstrate its ability in reality beyond the idea.
