The overlooked ' Resurrection'

With so much focus on the death of Christ ,what is often overlooked worryingly , is the resurrection.
What we don't see in the Four Gospels is folks believing in a risen saviour , ascended ,seated at the right hand of the Father . No there faith is not the same faith as is necessary to believe today.
1cor 15
1¶Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3¶For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4And that he was buried, and that he ROSE AGAIN the third day according to the scriptures:

15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Rom 10 .
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved.

Acts 17 .
31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance( Pistis) unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead .

John 7
37¶In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given ; because that Jesus was not yet glorified .)

Rom 5

8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life saved by his life.

11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have NOW received the atonement.

Ephesians 1:13-14
13And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.

1 Peter 1:3-5
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

Amen .

I was going to say I don't think I've seen enough about how we are God's possession either. What does it really mean to be God's possession? Maybe a question for another thread so this one does not get derailed.

Is this Thread discussing the people after Pentecost? Or the Church today?

The overlooked ' Resurrection'

It gave evidence of Jesus' deity. It did not cleanse us of our sin. The shedding of His Blood did that. His death sealed our pardon. His crucifixion gave us victory over death and sin.

John
19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and put [it] to his mouth.
19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

But when he said " it is finished " that could only mean he finished what he finished at that moment. He needed to be buried and needed to rise . When he said " it is finished "
,” on the cross, everyone was still in their sins as per 1 Cor. 15:17.

Atonement is one component of many components in salvation. It alone is not what saves. (Tit. 3:5; Rom. 5:10)

Atonement is a prerequisite for salvation, not the execution of it. (Rom. 5, 8; 2 Cor. 5; Tit. 3:5).

Christ’s life, not his death is what saves. (Rom. 5:10; 1 Cor. 15:17)

Belief that salvation for anyone was secured on the cross constitutes a denial of the necessity of the resurrection (1 Cor. 15:17)

Fiddlesticks and Bologna.


Atonement is what saves. Resurrection did not make Jesus God. It just testified of this so others could believe and recieve His Atonement.


All things were accomplished at the Cross.


Jesus is alive because He is God. The resurrection did not make Jesus God any more that Lazarus' resurrection made him God.


The resurrection was a necessity because you can't keep God in a grave.

You obviously do no not understand the significance of the Perfect Sacrifice.

You were not saved when Jesus said " it is finished " were you ?

And are you saying it was not necessary for Jesus to be glorified ?

Its really laughable that you actually equate Christ resurrection with Lazarus.

Lazarus was resurrected, only to die again later.

Christ was resurrected with a brand new body, never to die again.

It will be the same body which awaits us when our own earthly bodies are redeemed.

It constitutes the Truth.

I was saved when I accepted that as payment in full for my sin and was washed in that Blood. This is not complicated rocket science, my friend.


It was necessary for Jesus to come and be born in a manger too, but this is not what secured our salvation. Did you forget who Jesus is? He did not have to become God. He has always been God.
