THE BENEFITS WE ENJOYTHE BENEFITS WE ENJOY

BECAUSE HE LIVES

Because He Lives, we have . . .Because He Lives, we have . . .

1. Guaranteed Eternal Life (John 11:25,26; 13:19)

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.’”


2. Justification (Romans 4:25)

“who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.”


3. A Compelling Mission (Acts 1:8)

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”


4. A Comforting Hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13,14)

“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.”

5. Future Glorification (Philippians 3:20-21)

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.”


6. The Savior’s Abiding Presence (Matthew 28:18-20)

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”


7. Unlimited Power (Ephesians 1:15-21)


Stop for a Look at CalvaryStop for a Look at Calvary

• General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, visited the Holy Land in 1905.

• There he climbed Mount Calvary, and on his knees he unfurled the Army flag.


• With tears streaming down his cheeks, he softly repeated this stanza of Isaac Watts’ well-known hymn, “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”:


“Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were a present far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.”
