The Resurrection

Hey everyone, I pray that all is well for everyone today. I am back and continuing my articles on Christianity and how it can be backed by historical, scientific, and philosophical evidence if we are willing to look for it. I know that over the last couple of weeks, I have been writing on a more scientific and philosophical argument for God in general, and we have not got much into scripture in the Bible and what the Bible says about how we achieve salvation. Well it seems that over the last week and a half or so, there has been tremendous debate sparked over an issue that tugs at the heart of Christianity itself. The subject I am talking about is the controversy over this so called “lost tomb of Jesus”. This issue is such a big deal because it challenges the core belief of Christianity that has been the bases for which all Christians believe. And that is the resurrection of Jesus.
The resurrection of Jesus is such a big deal because the whole idea of if Christianity is true lies solely on if Jesus was resurrected or not. Clearly if Jesus did not rise from the dead, Christians who believe in the deity of Jesus would be completely wrong, and that would leave ALL Christians hanging with no hope for eternal life what-so-ever. This is such a true statement, that the Bible itself even says this. In 1 Corinthians Paul says this:

The Holy Bible, New International Version.

“But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.” (1 Corinthians 15: 12-18)

As you can see, even the Bible and the apostle Paul know that if Christ did not rise from the dead, then there is no hope for any Christian. This is why this topic of the “lost tomb” is so important. So with that said, I am going to be sending out articles that have to do with defending the resurrection of Christ, and if it is God’s will, be convincing people that this resurrection of Christ can be historically defended with believable evidence. So please, I would encourage you to read the articles that I am putting our about this because it is such an important issue. I would also encourage everyone to check into this topic on their own and see where the truth leads you. It is a very fulfilling topic, and the truth can set you free. Thank you all so much for the time that you give to read my articles and I give all the glory of the resurrection to the one who did it. Thank you so much Christ Jesus for all you have done, and thank you so much for the salvation that has been given to us. I thank you so much Lord Jesus for the hope that we have in you. I hope to hear from all you soon.

In Christ our Lord,

Dylan
