- The thriving early Christian church holds fast to the promise of resurrection.
The existence of a thriving and territorial conquering early Christian church confirms the reality of the resurrection guaranteed.
The church spread on the strength of the proclamation that Jesus had risen from the dead and that God accordingly declared him Lord and Christ (Acts 2: 36).
Christ’s ability to rule all the earth depends on his victory over death. This is a message that has spread everywhere. His ability to traverse society and create new divine individuals was an important aspect of his being.
- The path of the witness of Paul confirms the reality of resurrection.
In Galatians 1: 11-17, he argues to a less sympathetic crowd that his gospel comes not from humans but from the risen Jesus Christ.
His contention is that prior to his experience of meeting the risen Jesus on his way to Damascus, he was vehemently opposed to the Christian faith (Acts 9: 1). In any case, he is now risking his life for the gospel and is in the awe of all (Acts 9: 24-25).
His description: The Risen One Jesus appeared to him and confirmed that he would lead the ministry to the Gentiles (Acts 26: 15-18).
Can we believe such an explanation? This leads to the following argument.
- New Testament witnesses do not bear the mark of deceivers and liars.
What value do we assign to witnesses? How do we decide whether to trust what someone says about his/her? Choosing to give credibility to someone’s statements is, is not the same as completing the numerical problems.
The belief is of a different kind, but can be just as strong (I trust my partner’s declaration that it is unwavering).
When a witness dies, we can judge him based solely on the content of his work and what others have said about him.
How do Peter, John, Matthew, and Paul stack up?
In my opinion (and at this point, we can really only live by our own judgment) – Luke 12: 57), the works of these people do not appear as if they were created by people who are naive and effectively deceived or seduced. Their experience with human instincts matters. Your own responsibilities are clearly kept in mind and carefully worded. Their lessons are sound and I don’t think they were created by untrustworthy people. Moral and spiritual standards are high.
Furthermore, the existence of these people is completely dependent on reality and divine discernment.
- God’s Holy Spirit awakens us with the good news of Christ’s death and resurrection.
There is a self-searching brilliance in the good news of Christ’s fall and resurrection as explained by Bible observers. The New Testament shows that God sent His Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus as the Son of God.
Jesus said: “When the soul of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth,…..He will glorify me” (John 16: 13).
God’s Holy Spirit does not do this by not letting us know that Jesus was miraculously resurrected. Jesus does this by awakening us to see how he affirms the greatness of Christ in the story of his own life, death, and restoration.
He enables us to see Jesus as He is, with the overwhelmingly obvious and joyful Jesus as our goal.
The Messenger expressed our lack of vision and placement problems this way: “The Lord of this world beheaded His person to prevent the unbelievers from seeing the splendor of the good message of the world.
” The greatness of Christ, the image of God. Who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:4, 6). Saving information about the slain and risen Christ is not simply the result of an accurate reflection of verifiable reality.
Recognizing the truth about these realities is the result of otherworldly illumination. Despite Christ, it is a revelation of the reality and splendor of God.
Christ is the same man yesterday, today, and to the end. Amen.
