This week Steve and Rich continue their discussion on the resurrection, specifically highlighting the incredible value it has. The latter part of 1 Corinthians 15 is referenced throughout this episode so we would encourage you to familiarize yourself with it. How does the resurrection affect your life today? Can you answer that? The resurrection affects everything about our lives. It is crucial that we understand this because there is an enemy who wants us to continue to live in the guilt and shame of our sin that has been paid for. Steve tells us that the resurrection reminds us that we stand today in the sight of our God in Jesus completely righteous. We are His beloved children. Rich reminds us that the resurrection brings so much hope and comfort in times of suffering and trial. Knowing that Jesus rose from the dead just like He said He would is certainly a comfort and truth to hold onto. Steve goes through a list of reasons that the resurrection brings value today and we've listed those below. Our understanding of the resurrection should give us an urgency to preach and share the Gospel. We are His ambassadors, preaching the reconciliation brought by the resurrection. This is an episode you'll want to share, and we would love it if you would do that!

Five Reasons Why The Resurrection Has Value Today:

The resurrection assures us of our standing in forgiveness 

We are assured that this world is not our home, of a better day and of life everlasting - all by the resurrection 

The power we have in Christ through the Holy Spirit who lives within us to live in victory

Jesus is Lord over all and we know that without a shadow of a doubt because He conquered death 

The resurrection gives us hope
