We live in a day where many people have false opinions concerning what it means to be a Christian. To find out what a Christian is, we need go to the Bible. The Bible tells us what it means to be a Christian. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, we find what the early church said about what it means to be a Christian. The true Christian believes that Christ rose from the dead. If you deny what it in this early creed of the Christian church, you cannot be a Christian. In this message, we examine the resurrection that the true Christian believes
1. The fact of the resurrection
- Jesus really died
- The tomb was really empty
- Jesus really appeared to people
2. The meaning of the resurrection
What does it mean?
- It means that Jesus was right
- It means that Christianity is true
- It means that the penalty for sin was paid
- It gives hope in death
3. The demand from the resurrection
- You cannot remain neutral concerning Christ
- If he is Lord, you must bow before him
- What will you do with Christ? |
