The Resurrection of the Jesus Christ -- The Hope

Our entire Hope rest in the resurrection of Jesus Christ
"If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is our faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins."

"But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man (Jesus). For as in Adam all die (to sin), so in Christ all will be made alive"
{1 Corinthians 15:13-15,17,20-23}

"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" {1 Corinthians 15:56-57}

Our entire hope of eternal life with God is wrapped up in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his victory over death on the cross.
There is no other hope ... no other "religion" ... no other anything ... that offers a relationship with God (personally/intimately/eternally) except faith in Jesus Christ.
My entire motivation for living is the cross/resurrection of Jesus Christ. My purpose in life is to share this gift of salvation with all the people God guides me to.
I pray that many will place there faith in Jesus and receive the gift of salvation -- eternal life with God in heaven; yet sadly I know that there still will be many who never make it ... and it grieves my Spirit to know that they will be eternally separated from God.

Share the love of Jesus Christ with someone. Save a life.
Even death on earth cannot compare to the horrible tragedy of eternal separation from God.
By the Grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ -- The gift of Salvation
What have you placed your hope in? Todays the day ... tomorrow's not promised, you have no time to waste.
