Sermon Tone Analysis

The Resurrection Is Central To Salvation

While most of us are familiar with the idea of Jesus dying on a cross to pay the penalty for all of humanity’s sin, many in the church and outside it are not so clear on the centrality of Jesus’ resurrection to the work of salvation.

last week we covered:

Jesus came to the world to bring peace

A king who rides in either brings war or peace- Jesus didn’t come to vanquish dissent and set up His everlasting kingdom.

Rather He came in peace to save those who will receive Him.

We have peace with God- having been made right with God through our faith.

Faith in Jesus is the deciding factor for peace with God, not a sinless record.

His death PAID for all past sin, His Resurrection ensures you receive everything He promised.

Faith Alone

THE RESURRECTION MATTERS

“I am the resurrection and the life.

Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.”

THE STING OF DEATH- SIN

“The sting of death is sin.”

The scorpion-sting of death is sin.

What makes death eternally destructive and damning?

It’s our sin.

The Bible says that “the wages of sin is death” — eternal death, as opposed to eternal life ().

And it says we are all guilty, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (

THE PERFECT SACRIFICE

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . .

And the word became flesh and dwelt among us” (, ).

He lived here as God and man — one Person with two natures, divine and human — for about 33 years, and he never sinned.

“Which one of you convicts me of sin?” he asked.

No answer ().

Why?

Because he is the one “who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin” ().

1 COR 15:1

THE SWITCH- The New has come

Saved by his death, saved by His life

We are not playing a reformed behavior game.

He has truly set us free from the tight grip of our slavery to sin, and He has set us free to a new life with Him supplying every aspect for living, starting now, not later.

THE MEASURING STICK and the OLD NATURE is not compatible with GRACE EMPOWERMENT and the NEW NATURE

It’s one to understand that we’re forgiven of sin, but the nature of sin no longer has a hold on you.

When Jesus arose, everything He purchased cleared the bank and shows up in our account.

For anyone who comes by faith, the deposits start showing up as we keep moving by faith.

The full trust fund, comes to maturity and the remainder is paid out lump sum when we are raised to a new body.

The very nature of God now raises to new life what looked so corrupted and frail.
