  1. Living A Denial Of The Resurrection

  2. Resurrection Faith: Unbelieving Believers • We live in unbelief when we do not possess a dynamic faith: • A picture of life with no resurrection – Our faith would pointless! (1 Corinthians 15:14, 16-18) • When understood and appreciated, the resurrection should produce a living hope in us (I Peter 1:3, 21) • Sometimes the reason our trust is weak is because we don’t live with a daily awareness of the resurrection of Jesus (Eph. 1:19-21; Rom. 4:20-25) • Confidence in God’s power in the resurrection of Jesus gives us faith for our salvation at the point of baptism (Col. 2:12; I Peter 3:21)

  3. Resurrection Faith: Unbelieving Believers • We live in unbelief when we allow sin to be continually present in our life: • At baptism there is a resurrection where our relationship to sin and with sin changes (Rom. 6:3-11) • His resurrection reminds us WHY He endured all of this… He did it for our sake, so we could be a new creation. His love controls us! (2 Cor. 5:14-17) • There is a fruit that is consistent with belief in the resurrection of Jesus. A fruit that understands we will be raised. A fruit that longs for that day (Rom 7:4)

  4. Resurrection Faith: Unbelieving Believers • We live in unbelief when we do not possess a persevering purpose in our life: • Remember our spiritual resurrection in unity with Christ? There is a change in our focus in life (Colossians 3:1ff) • The mantra of those who live as if there was no resurrection: “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die” (1 Corinthians 15:32) • We become weak and fruitless when Jesus’ resurrection is an afterthought. We have something to live for, work toward, and pour our hearts into (I Cor. 15:57-58)
