He is Risen!
“And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” (1 Cor. 15:17)
Because He arose, we are no longer in our sins!
Today, Easter Sunday, we have a lot to celebrate! Jesus did it for us! Not only did He lay down His life and shed His precious blood to pay for our sins, He also clinched it by rising from the dead!
Therefore
Now we have forgiveness for our sins, we have new life while here, and we have new life with Him in heaven, forever!
“who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord,” (Rom. 1:4)
“…from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood” (Rev. 1:5)
“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” (1 John 5:11)
