Oh what a wonderful time it is! Easter is the celebration of our Savior’s resurrection from the dead. If Jesus had not rose from the dead, (showing that man’s “Sin price” had been paid in full), than all was for nothing.
The Bible tells us this through the apostle Paul’s preaching…
1Co 15:14 (ESV) And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
But thank You Lord that You did indeed raise from the dead, bringing hope and eternal life to all who believe.
1Co 15:20-22 (ESV) But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1Co 15:21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Oh Praise the Lord! He has risen! Now all we have to do to be saved is acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Believe that He came to us through the virgin-birth as a baby. That He lived, died, and rose again from the dead to the glory and honor of the Father.
When we believe this in our heart and confess it with our mouth, then we are saved! See Romans 10:9-10.
We want to wish all of you a Happy and blessed Easter day!
