Intro<\/strong><\/p>\nBible doctrine teaches us truths about God \u2013 this is not boring!<\/p>\n
Bible stories are inspiring, faith building, contain lessons for life, and lead us to Jesus.<\/p>\n
Some emphasize one or the other. Actually the Bible is a story book designed to teach us doctrine with some strongly doctinal sections but even they are embdedeed in the grand story.<\/p>\n
Here the turning point of Romans is placed in the context of a story. In a way it is the heart of the greatest book of the Bible.<\/p>\n
This phrase we will focus on is therefore the neglected heart of the Bible.<\/p>\n
Much preaching today is Jesus died for you.<\/strong>
\nIt is true \u2013 by this we know his love (Romans 5:8) and see our sin is killed<\/p>\nOur verse declares Jesus died and<\/em> rose again for you !<\/strong>
\nBy thus we know his Glory and have hope our bodies will live for ever!
\nWe are saved MUCH more by Jesus\u2019 life! (Romans 5:10)<\/p>\n1. Jesus WAS raised<\/strong>
\nMost important question is \u201cdid he rise again?\u201d
\nALL Christian groups believe in physical resurrection of Jesus and live in light of the implications of that event.
\nWe can know resurrection victory!<\/p>\n2. Raised for US<\/strong>
\nNot just a nice event for him. We share in it! Spiritual resurrection. Eph 2.<\/p>\nChristianity is not you do wrong things now stop and try harder.
\n.
\nMany young people leave church because they feel they cant live the xtn life. You can\u2019t any more than a corpse can get up and walk !<\/p>\n
Not just an end to the old life beginning of new
\nEternal life the gift of the resurrection, to be enjoyed now (John 10:10). Jesus is a Life giving spirit (1 Cor 15).
\nWe can know resurrection life! (Romans 6:4, 8:11)<\/p>\n
3. Raised for our Justification<\/strong><\/p>\nGods declaration of righteousness. Resurrection was Jesus own justification we share in this (Romans 1)
\nIt is not only just as if I\u2019d never sinned but rather just as if I\u2019d already lived a righteous life!
\nCross alone cannot save. Jesus credit is greater than our debt!
\nWithout resurrection we\u2019d be dead in sins
\nThe resurrection prompts faith which justifies<\/p>\n
Jesus\u2019 resurrection is necessary as we must be<\/p>\n
United with him!
\nClothed in him
\nHidden in him
\nInterceded for by him
\nSaved by him.
\nHealed by him
\nProtected by him
\nWelcomed home by him to a glorious eternity of no pain<\/p>\n
And last but NOT least,
\nFilled by him with the power of the age to come! A foretaste of heaven. (Ephesians 1)<\/p>\n
When we know where we stand with him we can know resurrection JOY<\/p>\n
What wonderful news! Romans 6:23<\/p>\n
How do we get in?
\nRomans 10:8 \u201cIf you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead you will be saved\u201d<\/p>\n
