Youo noted the resurrection or new life is the gift and I agree. Now, are we saved by trusting in the gift or by trusting in the person and work of Jesus Christ? Keep in mind I realize we must believe in the resurrection of our LORD and savior Jesus.A.M.

Instead I am suggesting that the resurrection itself was evidence of Christ's triumph. Consider the following passages ...<br /><br />1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.<br /><br />1Co 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;<br /><br />Ga 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.<br /><br />Again, I do not want to de-emphasize the resurrection and insist it is essential doctrine but we know that Christ defeated principalities openly. We know the veil to the temple was opened at Calvary when He gave His life. I get passionate about this because I know what victory there is in the cross of Christ in our own lives.<br /><br />In an event, we must agree to disagree, brother.A.M.

We are not fully saved to we experience the resurrection along side of Christ. The cross was the payment, but the resurrection was the gift, and surely the gift is the greater thing. <br /><br />I think it is wrong to minimalize the atonement. But I also believe that it is the resurrection which should be the greater focus.Jc_Freak:https://www.blogger.com/profile/14780031497091443526noreply@blogger.com
