<p> </p><p>Column: Christianity, which believe that the resurrection exists outside, is a fiction.</p><p>“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe you this?" (John 11:25-26)</p><p>1. I'm anxious and upset because I think churches will try to hype up Lent, trying to savor the orgasm of their faith as we approach Easter.</p><p>Christ, the resurrection and the life, has already come within us, saying "I am in you". Why are we so eager to visit the Lord's empty tomb and commemorate and celebrate his resurrection?</p><p>If we're just trying to make things look good, it's fine if there's no crucian carp in the crucian carp bread, but if Christ, the resurrection, doesn't exist within Christians, it's a fiction.</p><p>Even being born again is a small thing in the heart, the word "saved" is only a momentary relief, and the word "new life" is a complete lie.</p><p>If there's no resurrection, why be baptized?</p><p>Because we believe in the promise of unity with the Lord's resurrection by dying according to the death of the Lord, we repent and are baptized. Those who have died are resurrected, forgiven of their sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, becoming one bread, body, and spirit with the Lord through the Spirit of truth.</p><p>2. Some say something so outlandish as "walking with Jesus," it's laughable.</p><p>The gospel of the Lord Jesus is the gospel of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 4:17).</p><p>Therefore, the Lord's first sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, is ethics of the kingdom of heaven.</p><p>Terms like "gospel of Jesus" and "gospel of the cross" do not appear in the Bible.</p><p>The gospel is the message that Christ came into our flesh.</p><p>The body he gave up on the cross for my sins was resurrected, and after ascending to heaven, he sat down at the right hand of God's throne. He came into us as the Spirit of truth and made us alive, saying, "You are in me and I am in you." (John 14:20)</p><p>We have never invited the Lord, nor have we lifted a finger.</p><p>God unilaterally sent the Lord Jesus to atone for our sins on the cross and sent the Holy Spirit to teach and remind us.</p><p>If Christ is in us, resurrection and life are in us.</p><p>3. Martha, standing in the Old Testament court, answered, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day" (John 11:24), according to their religious beliefs. But we already know that the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection and the life, performed the power of saying, "Your brother will rise again.".</p><p>We also know and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life, is the resurrection that brought us back to life from the dead and the life that will not let us die again.</p><p>Even now, in real time, whenever we confess that we died with Christ and are risen again with Him, the power of that resurrection and life is manifested within us.</p><p>But if resurrection is outside, then eternal life is only after death, and heaven is only after death.</p><p>Since the interior of our national airplane is our territory, domestic law applies. How can being in Christ not be the kingdom of God?</p><p>4. If Christ, the resurrection and life, is not in us, our salvation is counterfeit. It's truly counterfeit. To say that you are a new creation or have been born again is a lie, and to say that you have received new life is also a lie.</p><p>So, it seems like eternal life is something you buy on credit, and heaven is something you can only get into if you buy it on installments and pay them regularly.</p><p>Why did Peter emphasize repentance along with baptism in the name of the Lord?</p><p>It is because only through union with Christ's death and resurrection can we die to sin, receive forgiveness of sins in Christ, and become alive toward God.</p><p>Through this, the Holy Spirit is given as a gift (Acts 2:38). Born again, eternal life, and heaven are all resolved at once.</p><p>Like David, we have faith that gazes intently at the throne of grace.</p><p>Christian ethics are an expression‎ of the life.</p><p>No matter how outstanding a person's ethical awareness, they cannot surpass the scribes and Pharisees.</p><p>It is merely an expression‎ of innate life.</p><p>However, the new creation recreated , born again through Christ, the resurrection and life, has the life of Christ at work within it.</p><p>Therefore, it repeats the process of changing its life following the message of the cross.</p><p>Naturally, love is the heavenly ethics that stems from the new life provided by Christ.</p><p>5. Know why Peter preached repentance along with baptism from Jesus as Lord and Christ on the Day of Pentecost, and why the Welsh Revival in England and the Pyongyang Great Revival repeatedly emphasized repentance, born again, the Holy Spirit, and the message of the cross.</p><p>Resurrection is revival, but if resurrection is outside, how can the fire of revival burn?</p><p>Without resurrection, how can those in Adam be resurrected from death, receive new life, and bear fruit in the image and glory of God?</p><p>The Corinthian church, which held the resurrection outside, ultimately became nothing more than a noisy gong and a clanging cymbal, failing to attain the highest Christian ethic of love (1 Corinthians 13).</p><p>To deny that Christ, the resurrection and life, dwells within us is to become the antichrist.</p><p>This is because they only claim to be Jesus, yet oppose Christ.</p><p>For if we have been united with his death through baptism, we will also be united with his resurrection. (Romans 6:5)</p><p>What other resurrection is there besides Christ, the resurrection and the life?</p><p>So, do you hope for resurrection after death?</p><p>Just as the Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son, so there is only one resurrection and one life.</p><p>He dwells within us.</p><p>Through resurrection, He bestows upon us, who die daily, the power of resurrection, and with new life, He enables us to become good trees bearing the fruit of love.</p><p>Our soul and body are instruments and vessels for expressing the life manifest within our spirit.</p><p>Even if the sky splits in two, Christ is in us.</p><p>If resurrection and life are outside, then it is only the dead life within Adam.</p><p>Therefore, no matter how hard we try, we will end up without ever experiencing love.</p><p>Theology and preaching that places resurrection outside will become paralyzed in the AI ​​era.</p><p>Written by Pastor.
