ETERNAL LIFE
KNOWING JESUS Jesus said: "And this is eternal life that they may know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." (John 17:3) Jesus does not just want us to know
about Him, He wants us to •And Believe That God the Father Raised Him Physically from the Dead The Apostle Paul Wrote: "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved." (Rom 10:9) 1
What is the
The Bible tells us that over 512 PEOPLE WITNESSED the fact of Jesus' Physical Resurrection; not 1 or 2 drunks' hallucination, but a well established historical fact. (1 Cor 15:3-8) 2
Jesus' Physical Resurrection Proves ABSOLUTELY thatThe BIBLE IS His ONLY WRITTEN Word to Man Jesus said: "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" (John 5:46-47). In this passage Jesus states Absolutely:
After Jesus rose from the dead physically alive, the Apostle John recorded: "When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they BELIEVED the SCRIPTURE, and the WORD which JESUS HAD SPOKEN." (John 2:19, 22; Luke 24:36-48) 3
Jesus'
Physical Resurrection Also Proves His
Jesus said: "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.... I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." (John 10:1, 9) 4
Jesus'
Physical Resurrection Also Proves Paul wrote: "For the wages of sin is death." (Rom 6:23) Jesus defining death said: "It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into hell, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched." (Mark 9:47-48, Luke 16:19-31, 2 Thess 1:9) But Jesus' Physical Resurrection Also Proves ABSOLUTELY That God ACCEPTS JESUS' DEATH in Our Place for Our Sins Paul wrote in the Bible: "He who was delivered up because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification." (Rom 4:25; Acts 13:28-31, 37-39) 5
Finally,
Jesus' Physical Resurrection Proves To Us What Does it Mean to Receive Jesus Christ as SAVIOR? First, it Means You Cannot Gain God's Forgiveness for Sins Repented of Through Your Own Works "By the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.... For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the Law." (Romans 3:20, 28) Second, in Light of This, Receiving Jesus as Savior Means to Accept God's Forgiveness for Your Sins Through Jesus' Death & Shed Blood Alone The Apostle Paul wrote: "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. (Romans 5:8-9) 6
