If Christ had died but had not risen from the dead, our faith would be in vain, and the gospel we preach would also be false. The heart of the gospel is the good news that Jesus died in the place of humanity for our sins and rose again, thereby saving mankind from sin, the curse, and eternal destruction.
If Jesus had died for mankind but had not risen again, God’s plan of salvation would have ended in failure. But Jesus Christ truly died in our place for our sins and rose again. Therefore, those who believe in Jesus, repent of their sins, and follow the Lord’s Word faithfully to the end will receive forgiveness of sins, and when their earthly lives come to an end, they will receive new resurrected bodies, enter the kingdom of heaven, and live forever.
Because God is almighty, He created all things and rules over them. God created human beings and intended them to live forever. However, He declared that if human beings sin, they must surely die. This is the Word of God, and it can never be changed. Although God is almighty, this does not mean that He simply gives life without any cost to those who became subject to death because of sin.
God’s justice does not change according to circumstances. Yet God’s love has saved mankind from destruction. That love was revealed when God died in the place of mankind for human sin and saved humanity from eternal destruction. What human beings must do is repent of their sins and return to the Word of the Lord.
When people strive to forsake sin, obey the Lord’s Word, and live for the kingdom of God and His righteousness, the Lord has mercy on those who are weak and imperfect, forgives them, and leads them faithfully to the kingdom of heaven to the end.
However, those who attend church but continue to live in sin without repentance will ultimately perish. Such a life makes the grace and sacrifice of the Lord, who died and rose again for them, of no effect in their lives. If we truly believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus, we must demonstrate that faith by repenting of our sins and living in obedience to the Word of the Lord.
