Good Friday remembers the crucifixion and death of Christ, while Easter Sunday celebrates his resurrection. What is the meaning and significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Why is it something that has been so celebrated throughout history? Without someone stepping in to correct this situation, we cannot have the relationship with God that he intended. In the death of Jesus on the cross, God put our punishment on Christ so that we could be justified before him.
No amount of effort, medical technology, power or riches can escape the clutches of death. Christ rose from the dead because death could no longer hold him, and we no longer have to fear death because Christ has triumphed over it. Death is no longer an enemy because in Christ, we no longer have to fear the punishment that comes after death.
O death, where is your sting? But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! When we believe in Christ, we are united to him in faith. Union with Christ means that when God looks at us, he does not see our unrighteousness, but the righteousness of Christ.
It means that we have died with him and will also live with him Romans This union is made possible by the resurrection of Christ. We are now able to walk in newness of life because we are bound to Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit Romans Those who have died are with God. Christians believe that when they are baptised they share in the resurrection of Jesus and so are brought into a new relationship with God. They show this in their actions by being kind and loving.

This includes a number of priests who believed in Jesus. The Resurrection Is The Cornerstone Of Christianity The Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Corinth: Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Notice how clearly Paul stated the matter - no resurrection, no Christianity. Christian preaching is empty and so in anyone's faith because the object of the faith, Christ, is not whom He said He was. Donate Contact. Blue Letter Bible is a c 3 nonprofit organization.

Because Jesus rose from the grave, He became for believers the guarantee that, one day, if we should die before He comes back to this earth at the Rapture , we too shall come back from the grave.
And in 1 Thessalonians we read:. 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. We would die in despair; and many people die in despair today because they refuse the truth of the Risen Savior.
But when we place our trust in the Lord Jesus and ask Him to forgive us of our sins, to save us and to come and live within our lives, we receive the gift of eternal life and the guarantee of heaven Romans
