Q2. Validating our Salvation

[Dar]

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God?

It proves that Jesus is the truth and the way for us to have fellowship with Father God. He came to do the will of the Father. The measure of faith that God has given to all to believe - I believe. Jesus is the "light" He is the "truth" He is the "way"

If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

I would have doubts because I did not use the "faith" given to me to believe. I would be void of Christ living in me, of God's love felt in my heart. I would be a person most miserable. I do believe and I am a person most happy, happy in the Lord.

I see "Salvation" not just setting me free, but most important, having a relationship with the Almighty God. To think He loves us so much and He wants to have a relationship with each of us. Jesus came to do the will of the Father, to go to the cross, God raised Him the Firstfruits, just as the scriptures tells us.

I am thankful the covenant is not just with the Jewish people, but He included the Gentiles. I thank Jesus for coming and for being that light to the Gentiles. (Isa 42:6)

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God?

God sent His Son to die on the Cross for the forgiveness of our sins then raised Him from the dead. He defeated death, so we could have eternal life.

If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

If we don

If we Christians believe that Christ died only to save us from our sin and disobedience to God, then while we still are living, we wouldn’t have any hope for God resurrecting us from the dead when we die, nor when we die we would just stay in the ground and let the worms and decay eat us and have no hope for a future life with the Lord in heavenly glory. Our whole system of believing in Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior is based on both Christ’s death on the cross for our sins and His resurrection from the dead so we will follow Him into glory; and without both we wouldn’t really be true believers in Him and His Gospel. The Apostle Paul explains this well in 1 Corinthians 15: “And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile: you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep…For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.” (vs. 17-26). So instead of being unbelieving and unhappy and being pitied among those with no hope, we Christians should be rejoicing and thanking and praising God for the hope God has given us in Christ’s resurrection for our own resurrection from the dead when the Lord puts all His enemies under Him (even the final one of death) and takes us into His Kingdom to be with Him forever and ever! Amen! If we do not believe in Christ’s resurrection but only in His death for our sins, then, as Paul puts it (above) we are the ones to be most pitied because we have no hope in Christ after we die and are buried in the ground. But in believing in both His death and His resurrection, we not only have the hope of our own resurrection that is coming someday, but we know it is going to happen and we will be resurrected as well and brought into His glory. Amen!

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

If He stayed death, this means that we will also stay dead.

If He has risen, we can also rise.

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

Since Jesus was risen from the dead, that means that we will be risen as well. We are joint heirs with Christ, and as such, are entitled to the same benefits as He is! He died so that we can be with Him, and like Him! Glory to God!

No resurrection=

Christ didn't rise

preaching in vain

faith in vain

false witnesses

God forbid!

In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God?

If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

Jesus died on the cross for our sins. If Jesus was not who He said He was, and the resurrection did not occur, then we are lost and dead in our sins. But because of our personal relationship with Jesus, we know He lives and because of this we are saved!

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

"13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men." (1 Corinthians 15:13-19)

If we do not believe that Christ was raised from the dead then all that we base our hopes on is just a pipe dream. Not only is it a dream for us but we are also spreading our futile dreams to others which to me would be a sin. God Himself says that the Lord Christ was raised from the dead and because of Him we all can be saved and forgiven. If we did not have faith in this then we should not have faith that we can be forgiven of sins.

[quilter]

WE VALIDATE OUR SALVATION BY BELIVING AND FAITH. IF WE DON'T EVERYTHING WE DO IN THE NAME OF CHRIST IS IN VAIN.HE WENT TO THE CROSS FOR THAT VERY REASON.HE DIED FOR OUR SINS.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AND IT IS OUR JOB AS BELIVERS TO

GET THIS MESSAGE OUT.

WE HAVE TWO ETERNAL LIVES. IF WE BELIVE CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS AND WAS RESURRECTED

AND LIVE OUR LIVE FOR HIM WE HAVE HEAVEN FOR OUR ETERNAL HOME. IF NOT hell WILL BE OUR

HOME. THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER IS THROUGH ME JESUS CHRIST. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT

RELIGION YOU ARE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN.

[DaveCote]

By Jesus raising from the dead it God love his son and he also loves all his children, with Jesus in heaven at the right hand of God we have our King to defend us. Also if you have doughts that God would save his only son, and you have no faith in Gods love why should he save your soul.

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

Christ's resurrection validates that we are saved and forgiven by God. By Christ's resurrection we put to death the old man of corruptibility and put on the new man of incorruptibility who is Christ the Lord. We become a new creation in Christ.

If we did not believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, we might have doubts about out salvation and forgiveness of our sins. We will be fussy about the truth of God which to choose and which not to choose according to our feelings of the moment.

Christ's resurrection validates us that we are saved and forgiven by God.

Our lives will be wretched and miserable and there will be no hope for us for the future resurrection had we not believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead.

(1 Corinthians 15:13-19)

If we don't believe that jesus was raised then it was all a big fat lie. If christ did not come back from the dead then we would go to hell. and the people we told that jesus was ressurrected would also be going to hell because they believed a lie and they spread that lie around so...

[noksidam]

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation? The wage of sin is death and Jesus who was sinless died for our sins. At the resurrection He conquered sin and death and gave us the assurance that we can believe His promises of forgiveness. If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation? Without the resurrection there would be no salvation. If Jesus had not conquered sin and death then there would be no way for us to do it.

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

His resurrection is the conclusion of His work of our salvation by which we receive forgiveness and deliverance from our sins and therefore bringing us who were lost back to God. If we don't believe His resurrection then we call God a liar and cannot receive forgiveness so we can approach God. 1 COR.5:17-18

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

Ans. The scripture says, “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification”. By Jesus resurrection we know that we are saved by grace through faith. If He did not bear our sins we would never be forgiven nor would salvation be ours. If we did not believe that He was raised from the dead then how will we believe that He took on our sins? His resurrection assures us that we receive salvation through Him and that we will also reign eternally with Him.

[haar]

Christ's resurrection validates our salvation in that our salvation was hinged on him coming, dying rising again. Thus the resurrection completed the expected events that would take place to ensure our salvation.

If we doubt Christ's salvation we will automatically doubt our own resurrection. It is that power of God that raised Christ from the dead that will raise us from the dead.

[van]

Jesus Christ death on the cross atoned for our sins, and His resurrection pardon our sins and makes us blameless before God. It validates our salvation. If Christ has not been raised our faith is futile and we are still living in our sins.

[tgandy]

God sent His Son into this world to save us.  Jesus was fully human and fully divine.  He took on our sins and became sin separating himself from God.  God raised him from the dead and seated him at His right hand.  By this act we are saved and forgiven by God through Jesus Christ.  If God did not raise up His Son, why would He raise us on the last day?
 

[JoanG]

In order for us to have salvation, we must believe that Jesus died for us and was raised from the dead and is sitting at the right hand of God. Without this connection  to the Father, we really might not be saved from sin.The whole concept of being God's adopted sons and daughters is that our brother opened the gates of heaven for us when He rose into the heavens.

[webster52]

In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? It confirms and verifies that God accepted and approved Jesus’ atoning, sacrificial, voluntary death on the cross to cover our sins. Luke 23:46 - And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit’ Having said this, He breathed His last.” Jesus was determined that His final words be heard. Jesus trusts His eternal destiny to our Father's hands. He knows that there is life with the Father beyond death. We too have this same assurance because of our faith and trust in Jesus our Saviour.

 

If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation? The resurrection is the reality of all that Christianity stands for and embraces. It is the focal point of all Christian teaching; the justification, adoption, sanctification and glorification, as applied to believers, are derived from the significance of the resurrection. John MacArthur states, “If the resurrection of Jesus were just another historical miracle, then Christianity is but a dead religion! In the resurrection God breaks into history; eternity breaks into time; God re-creates humanity; God establishes the social order He intended.”

[Annelle]

In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

It is because Christ has been raised from the dead that we have assurance or proof that God has completed our salvation. Because God vindicated Jesus by raising him from the dead, we know that his promises of forgiveness of sins are true, that we have been saved, rescued, delivered.

[Old Jerry]

By believing in Jesus’ resurrection we have been validated that we are saved and forgiven by God. Jesus had told us that He would save us if we just believe. If Jesus hadn’t been actually raised from the dead we would not have salvation. He would have just been another blow hard roaming the earth.

[elaineer]

if we do not believe Jesus raised from the dead,we will have difficulty believing we will be saved and have eternal life.

the fact the Jesus was raised gives us confidence that our salvation is a firm expectation based on Jesus'resurrection from the dead.

Q2. In what way does Christ's resurrection somehow validate that we are saved and forgiven by God? If we didn't believe Christ had been actually raised from the dead, how might we have doubts about our salvation?

A. In line with the song "....because he lives I can face tomorrow...." we can say for sure that Jesus rose from the dead to live again in heaven, so we can died and rise to life and live with  Him in heaven for eternity.

If we do not believe that Christ rose from the dead, we cannot have faith that we will rise to salvation after death.

 

[Bianca]

Because we have the full guarantee because Christ lives we live. We have that assurance that we have been truly forgiven through Jesus sacrifice and resurrection. Jesus is at the right hand of God and is the Great High Priest that went before us that also gives us confidence to. If we don't believe that Christ has been truly raised from the dead then we have no hope because Jesus is our only hope and assurance for eternal life with God.
