Doctrine of  the Resurrection- Page 2

Justification by Faith

Justification by Faith is entered around the death and resurrection of a Saviour

Paul speaking again the Book of Acts Ch13 v14-39 He expounds the doctrine of justification by faith, and is centred around the death and resurrection of a Saviour v29-31 He also confirms yet again that it was "according to the Scriptures"

The Scriptures tell us that

"For there is no salvation in any other name given under heaven by which we may be saved, but by the name of Christ"     

(Acts  4: 12)    (Gospel of John 14: 6)

There is no salvation in His name, but upon the fact of His death and resurrection. The Apostle lays much stress upon the fact that Christ died for our sins, and was buried, and rose again.

This truth is confirmed by Old Testament prophecy

 see   (Psalm 16:10) (Isaiah 53)  (Psalm 22) (Daniel 9:26-27)  (Hosea 6:2)

Also by many eyewitnesses, who saw Christ after he had risen from the dead. The early Church believed it. All the Apostles agreed in this belief and by this faith they live and in this faith they die.

There is no one who has ever lived, who is like Jesus. He full of majesty and owns the title "King of Kings", but He shed His royal robes in order that "He might wear the robes of a servant". Yet He is much more than the King who became a servant, He is the eternal, almighty God, who took upon Himself human flesh. He was perfect man. He is unique among all persons, who have ever walked this earth.

When one looks unto the historical account of the life, character and essence of Jesus, he must fall on his face and cry out "You alone are worthy of worship"

Christianity is not just a system of beliefs

Christianity is not just a system of beliefs or a philosophical view of life. Christianity is Christ, If you take Christ out Christianity it will cease to exist. Jesus is not just a good moral teacher or one of the great prophets of ages past; He is God in the flesh.

The essence of Christian worship

The essence of Christian worship is not in its form or style, nor a system of philosophical teachings about good works. The essence of Christian worship is in the person of Jesus Christ. Worship flows from a genuine understanding of the character of Jesus. When one truly comprehends that, worship will flow from us to the Father because of the Son.
