Paying the Price for Our Sin, Jesus Dies and Rose Again

Recap -Good News Series

We know that God created us to be with him

We were made to be in relationship with our creator!

We know that our sins separated us from him

We know that sins cannot be removed by our good deeds.

Ephesians 2:8–9 (NIV)

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.

So When Does the Good News Come

Like Pastor James said “We have to have bad news to appreciate the good news.”

We have been hearing in this series that good news is coming!

And that good news rest on God’s work through his son Jesus Christ!

There Was Only One Way for the Good News to Take Place

Today we are going to dive into the foundational principle that our faith rest upon.

That is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ

1 Corinthians 15:13–14 NIV

If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.

If there is no death and resurrection then there is no Good News

But the truth is that he did do these things and there is good news.

Everyone Who Calls Upon His Name Shall Be Saved

Through this series we should be encouraged and inspired to spread the good news to those who need to hear it.

Romans 10:14–15 (NIV)

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” 

Let’s Continue to Stand and Worship God for What He has done for Us.
