The Effect of the resurrection on Christians

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central aspect of more than two billion Christians in this world and billions more who have since put their faith in Jesus these last two thousand years . The Christian religion is unique in the fact that its founder proclaimed that he is the son of God and that if one simply believes in him , they shall obtain eternal life . There is no other religion similar to that . Salvation cannot be found on this earth or in the completion of daily tasks and rituals but is a

gift , given to God through Jesus . The resurrection of Jesus Christ is so important that the entire faith relies upon this event . If Jesus was , as other religions attest : only a prophet , then Jesus is therefore made a liar and the greatest con artist in the history of the world . However , if he is who he was he is , then Jesus is the only way in which one receives eternal life . It can therefore be seen how important the resurrection is to Christians and they are reminded of such sacrifices as well as the importance of Jesus ' death burial and resurrection , this Easter Sunday

In the Old Testament , the Scriptures profess of a savior who will come to save man from his sins . Amazing detail can be seen in these Old Testament passages concerning where this savior would come from , how he would be received by the public and authorities and how he would die and then be raised from the dead . When Jesus was preaching that he was the Messiah , this was seen as severe offense of blasphemy towards the Jewish authority , as they were still waiting for their savior to come According to the Bible , and specifically the New Testament , Jesus Christ came to this world to save man from his sin . With the plague of thousands of sins committed by any individual with an average lifespan he therefore cannot enter God 's kingdom of heaven , which is holy , with a body and works that are unholy . It then comes upon Jesus Christ to be the savior of God 's people by sending on this earth , his only son which died on a cross , was buried and then was resurrected on the 3rd day . In the Gospels , the first four books of the New Testament , in which the life and times of Jesus are given , the resurrection is described in all of these accounts . One such can be found in the book of Matthew 27 :52-53 . And the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept arose , and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city , and appeared unto many (Bible , 2000

br 689 ) The resurrection is repeated in all four of the Gospels , due to its utter necessity of understanding if one wishes to consider himself a Christian and deserving , only through the death of Jesus Christ , eternal life in heaven

According to the Bible...
