You Have Eternal Life

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

Without the resurrection we have nothing and that's exactly what Paul wrote in 1 John 5:11-13 "And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."

  • Are there prophets today?
  • How do you get God to reveal His will for your future? How do I know if someone is the one God wants for me?

Jesus Has Power Over Sin and Death

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

This Gospel is the hope for mankind. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned..." Ephesians 2:11 "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins..."

From Death to Life

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

John 5:24 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

  • The Bible says God gives you gifts... apostles, healing, giving, etc. So if you're filled with the Holy Spirit should you be able to do all these things?
  • After the resurrection will children with birth defects go into the Kingdom whole?
  • Where is the Scripture that says playing the lottery is wrong?

Jesus Came to Raise the Dead

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

The most significant event in human history was the resurrection of Christ. I ran across this quote from Robert Capon this weekend. "Jesus came to raise the dead. The only qualification to receive the Gospel is to be dead." And that's exactly where I was before I received Christ.

  • If the Holy Spirit is withdrawn how are people saved during the tribulation?
  • Does the Holy Spirit convict me of sins? Is He the one pointing out to me the things I'm doing wrong?
  • How do I harmonized the Gospels specifically in Matthew 20, Luke 18, and Mark 10 concerning the healing of the blind man?
  • Does Isaiah 1:8 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" fit into the New Covenant?

It's About Life

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

It's about life. When we're talking about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we're talking about life. What do we have when we receive Jesus? Life. Why do we need life? Because apart from God we are dead. What can dead men do? Nothing. The Gospel enables us to receive His resurrected life.

  • Should we attend church?
  • Are there apostles today? Are the gifts of the Holy Spirit for today?
  • Since God reconciled the world to Himself through Christ and the commandments were nailed to the cross... are we breaking the commandments when we sin?

From Death to Life in Christ

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

The resurrection is the event that solves our ultimate problem as people. John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." 20:31 "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

  • Ephesians 2:1-10 "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,... But because of his great love for us, God... made us alive with Christ"
  • Today many teachers teach with the wrong premise. Does what Jesus said in Mark 9:39 apply to this?
  • What is the right title... Easter or resurrection Sunday?
  • Brad calls to discuss the "sin of unbelief" and repentance.
  • Did Egyptian belief of resurrection come before Christian resurrection?
  • Did Jesus go to Hell before He was raised?

Declared with Power to be The Son of God

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

The resurrection is the heart and soul of the Gospel message. Everything hinges upon Jesus and the fact that He is alive.

  • Romans 1:1-5 is today's Scripture. "...declared with power to be the Son of God"
  • Does the Holy Spirit convict me of sins? Is He the one pointing out to me the things I'm doing wrong?
  • Bill calls to talk about investigating the truth of the Bible.
  • Who were the people in the land of Nod evolutionary?
  • Why wasn't the Lord's prayer repeated in the New Covenant? Has it been accomplished?

Appointed the Son of God

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

Romans 1:1-5 "Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord."

  • I think the divinity of Christ comes down to faith.
  • Please clarify Romans 2:13 "For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous."
  • How do we prepare for Christ's return without fear?
  • Where the children born of angels [sons of God] in Genesis different?
