6. The meaning of the resurrection to us
The resurrection brings assurance of justification.
Romans 4:25 “Who was delivered for our offenses and was raised again for our justification.“
The people waited outside the temple for the high priest to come out of the holy place, for they knew then that all their sins were borne away. Our high priest came out of the grave and by this we know that our sins are atoned for.
- The resurrection of Christ brings assurance of our resurrection.
- The resurrection of Christ makes coming judgment certain.
- The resurrection makes eternal life certain (John 14:19)
