Believers are on Resurrection Ground ‘Our Faith Rest On Christ Resurrection from the Dead’

Daily Encouragement

Christ resurrection from the dead never to die again is the core of our faith

‘That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death;’

Philippians 3:10

This is the believer’s position right now, we’re on resurrection ground, and we rest on that resurrection power not just for salvation, but for every aspect of our daily lives.

It is resurrection power that gives us the ability to live a victorious life, it’s that resurrection power that breaks the addiction to drugs and overcomes the loss of a loved one, physical pain, heartbreak, or whatever it difficulty we face. It is resurrection power that gives believers ultimate victory over and through the most difficult times of their lives. Ultimately, it’s that resurrection power that gives believers victory over sin, Satan, and death itself.

‘O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.’

1 Corinthians 15:55-57

Even believers are prone to forget that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the core of our faith. Everything we believe and put our faith in as “Christians” is based solely on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without Christ’s resurrection, we have nothing.

But Christ is risen from the dead and He is the first fruits of those who have died.

‘But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. ‘

I Corinthians 15:20

And because Christ is risen from the dead never to die again so too will we that believe the gospel be raised from the dead. To be with the Lord forever.

‘For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,’

Romans 6:5

‘For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. ‘

I Thessalonians 4:14-17

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

Who's writing?

Identify the author of the book and passage.

Who is the author writing too?

Who is the audience? Yes, all Scripture is for us but not all of Scripture is directed to us our salvation and doctrine (how to live our daily lives). To say all of Scripture is, is erroneous interpretation.

When was the Book or Passage written?

This is necessary to identify the time and historical context.

What were the circumstances when it was written? (what was going on)

What was going on before and after it was written?

What happen before and after the particular Book or Passage you’re reading?

What is the HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE VERSE?

Where does the Bible verse fit in Biblical history. Use the answers from the list of these questions to identify the “historical context”.

Are there other passages that the Author has written to help expand on the verse your reading?

Utilize the full counsel of God to illuminate the passage

All of Scripture fits perfectly.

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-4; 2cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
