One of our greatest needs is an Advocate with God the Father in Heaven. That is what Jesus is for all who belong to Him.

When the trumpet sounds, the dead in Christ will rise and be changed, in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, and we who trust in Him shall be like Him.

Our bodies matter to God. And He will not allow them to stay in the grave forever. Soon, everyone will rise on Judgment Day.

Because Christ died and rose again, we who are united to Him by faith will also rise from the grave to be in the presence of God.

The cross of Christ is the proof of God’s love toward sinners. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

We are forgiven by Christ’s death on the cross because the punishment for sin fell on Him instead of us. Therefore, at the cross, God’s forgiveness is released toward us.

On the cross, Jesus bore the sins of the world. The cross shows us both the heinousness of sin and the love of God.

We cannot separate Christ’s Lordship from His salvation of us. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the gospel to think that you can receive what Jesus offers and at the same time resist what He commands.

In Adam, we all die. But if we are joined to Christ by faith, we shall be made alive!

The multiple theophanies that occurred in the Old Testament were pointing forward to a time when the Lord himself would come in human flesh.
