Jesus is the
resurrection and life. Without the
resurrection, there is no life. If Jesus
had not risen from the grave, no one would make it into heaven. We would all be bound for hell because our
righteousness is as filthy rags. We
cannot be good enough on our own for heaven.
We would be spiritually dead with no hope of life.
The resurrection
opened the door of heaven for all who would believe in Him and accept Him as
Savior and Lord. The resurrection is
God's exclamation point on the work Christ completed for us at Calvary. There Jesus took the condemnation of all sin
upon himself. He overcame Satan's hold
on the sinful soul. He took the worry
and fear of death away from those who believe.
He connected us with God and made available to us all the resources of
heaven to help us live righteous lives before God.
The resurrection is
God's guarantee that all who believe in what Jesus has done for them, confess
their sins to Him, seek His forgiveness, and let Him into their hearts will be
saved and live forever with Him.
The question is not
whether or not it is so; it is whether or not you believe it is so. And, if you believe it is so, are you living
like it is? Eternal life with God awaits
those who trust in Jesus for their salvation and who live godly lives.
