The Key Of Our Faith

The Key Of Our Faith

Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave, God will most certainly bring back to life those who die in Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:14 MSG

For . . . any follower of Christ, the promise is simply this: The resurrection of Jesus is proof and preview of our own.

But can we trust the promise? Is the resurrection a reality? Are the claims of the empty tomb true? This is not only a good question. It is thequestion. For as Paul wrote, “If Christ has not been raised, then your faith has nothing to it; you are still guilty of your sins” (1 Cor. 15:17). In other words, if Christ has been raised, then his followers will join him; but if not, then his followers are fools. The resurrection, then, is the keystone in the arch of the Christian faith.
