Resurrection...

 Not Reincarnation!

Jesus died and rose from the grave with the same body, yet for the 19th Century many evangelical clergymen accepted a Hindu concept that implied that the risen Jesus was a copy and not the one who died?

This still exists today in the many false concepts about the resurrection and  many cannot accept this historical fact, beyond that of the atonement?

If Jesus did not rise from the dead none of us can be saved, since the Holy Bible is very clear that He did!

John 4:23-24, 1 Corinthians 15:12-13, Philippians 3:10-11, Revelation 20:5-6.

Secular Humanism? Part-One.

The enemy of Christian Faith!

Many Christians around the world today have taken on this cause believing that the 'good works of Jesus was for the defence of the poor and they completely miss both His death on the cross and His rising from the dead for their salvation?

Humanism is at times an excuse to get out of commitments to God and much of its ideas are based on Roman Catholicism in the ideal the more good we do, we have a better chance of going to heaven?

But belief in God has to be based on faith and that of being Born-again or anew and it is not based on what we can do, but rather what God has done for us!

As believers we are commanded to do what is right and good and not wrong, this is how we will know on this side of Eternity who are walking with our Lord and who are not!

James 2:8,  1 Peter 3:14, 1 John 2:10,  20-27,  3:14-19,  23. 

Easter. Part-Three.

Risen from the Dead!

Jesus said that he would die and rise from the dead on the third day, and he did! He was seen by well over five-hundred people between His resurrection and His Ascension back to Heaven, over a forty-day period.

Doubting Thomas is one proof, the broiled fish is another that he returned to us in the same body and was neither a ghost of some lofty Spirit! Jesus was the same flesh and blood as He always was, both fully the perfect, sinless man and God!

Now we come to the facts of faith-trust in relation to the resurrection of Jesus, because some cannot believe this to be a truth? Without understanding this key area of our salvation, we will not be delivered from the darkness of sin! In it we died with Him and rose with Him into the Eternal New Life!

John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4, 12-13, 1 Thessalonians 4:14, 1 Peter 1:3, 8.
