Christ's Resurrection from the Dead
Sobre aquest llibre
Such a work of God to redeem fallen men from the justice and wrath of God, one finds the resurrection of Christ bearing the confirmation of God’s oath to the elect for the accomplishment of their eternal good. And in this, rests the infallible determination of Christ’s state as the natural Son of God, and so the messenger indeed of the covenant of grace.
More than any other miracle of the New Testament, the resurrection is the foundation on which our Christian faith rests. Jesus had to be raised from the dead for the cross to be effectual, for his death and resurrection are both essential for redemption. Our resurrected Savior is our Chief Cornerstone, the Author and Finisher of our faith, our triumphant King who conquered sin, death, hell, and the grave, rose from the dead and ascended into glory to the right hand of God.
