Resurrection

Resurrection is the proof that Jesus took away the sin of the world and death had no hold on Him. The resurrection is the reason we have fellowship with God and death has no hold on us. Without resurrection we would be left dead in sin. We are born in this world dead in Adam and our need is new life in Christ. If Jesus would not have been resurrected we would still be dead in sin, our sins taken away by His death on the cross but still dead. With His resurrection into new life we are not only forgiven but given His new resurrection life when born again of the Spirit. To believe only on the sacrifice of Christ is believing half a gospel.
