His Grace Toward Me

 

Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you - unless you have come to believe in vain.

 

For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them - thought it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.

 

1 Corinthians 15:1-19

 

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Without we have no hope for this life nor the life to come. That is why it is important to recognize that our belief in Christ's resurrection is not based on a religious feeling or unfounded rumor, but on historical fact with solid evidence to support it.

 

Christ's resurrection is one of the most established facts of history. Remember, if Jesus did not rise from the dead, your faith is futile. Historical evidence and countless changed lives testify that the resurrection of Jesus is a fact. Have you put your hope in the risen Christ?

 

 

Christ's resurrection is more than a fact of history,

it is the proof of our salvation.
