Some benefits of Jesus’s resurrection
C1
A
fulfillment of a promise
D1
Psalm 16:10 NKJV - For
You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One
to see corruption.
D2
Acts 2:27 NKJV - For
You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One
to see corruption.
D3
Acts 13:35 NKJV - Therefore
He also says in another [Psalm]: 'You will not allow Your Holy One to
see corruption.
D4
John 2:19-21 NKJV - Jesus
answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up." Then the Jews said, "It has taken
forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in
three days?" But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
C2
Proof
of Jesus’s sinlessness:
Romans 1:3-4 NKJV - concerning
His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David
according to the flesh, [and] declared [to be] the Son of God with
power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from
the dead.
C3
Proof
of Jesus’s deity:
Romans 1:3-4 NKJV - concerning
His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David
according to the flesh, [and] declared [to be] the Son of God with
power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from
the dead.
C4
To
give salvation:
Acts 5:30-32 NKJV - "The
God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a
tree. "Him God has exalted to His right hand [to be] Prince and
Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. "And
we are His witnesses to these things, and [so] also [is] the Holy
Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.
C5
To
exalt to the Father’s right hand:
Acts 5:30-32 NKJV - The
God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a
tree. "Him God has exalted to His right hand [to be] Prince and
Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. "And
we are His witnesses to these things, and [so] also [is] the Holy
Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.
C5
To
judge the world with righteousness:
Acts 17:31 NKJV - because
He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in
righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance
of this to all by raising Him from the dead.
C6
The
highest authority under the Father:
Ephesians 1:19-23 NKJV - and
what [is] the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe,
according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in
Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated [Him] at His right
hand in the heavenly [places], far above all principality and power
and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in
this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all [things]
under His feet, and gave Him [to be] head over all [things] to the
church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
C7
Creation
hopes in Jesus’s resurrection:
Romans 8:19-22 NKJV - For
the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the
revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to
futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected [it] in
hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the
bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of
God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth
pangs together until now.
C8
The
new creation of the saints, the believers.
Jesus was the first, the believers, the church, is next: 2
Corinthians 5:17 NKJV - Therefore,
if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; old things have
passed away; behold, all things have become new.
C9
Jesus
has all the rights of the firstborn:
Colossians 1:15 NKJV - He
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
C10
To
turn us away from sins,
to the Jew first, then to us Gentiles: Acts 3:26 NKJV - To
you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless
you, in turning away every one [of you] from your iniquities.
C11
Shows
us the Jesus is the one to put our faith in:
Romans 4:24-25 NKJV - but
also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised
up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our
offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
C12
Proof
of our justification:
Romans 4:24-25 NKJV - but
also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised
up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our
offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
C13
Showing
us to live a new life,
one of righteousness: Romans 6:4 NKJV - Therefore
we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as
Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life.
C14
Showing
us that after resurrection, there is no more death.
Jesus is already raised; ours is coming: Romans 6:4, 9 NKJV -
Therefore
we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as
Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life. ... knowing that Christ,
having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has
dominion over Him.
C15
No
longer under the authority of Mosaic Law:
Romans 7:4 NKJV -
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through
the body of Christ, that you may be married to another--to Him who
was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.
C16
A
promise for our resurrection:
Romans 8:11 NKJV - But
if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He
who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal
bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
C17
We
have to believe in His resurrection to be saved:
Romans 10:9 NKJV - that
if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your
heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
C18
The
believers who have died will be raised to a new body like Jesus’s.
The living believers will ascend, never to die:
1 Corinthians 15:52 NKJV - in
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the
trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed.
C19
Delivers
us from the wrath to come
(hell): 1 Thessalonians 1:10 NKJV - and
to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, [even]
Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
C20
Jesus
can now show light (understanding) to both Jews and Gentiles:
Acts 26:23 NKJV - that
the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the
dead, and would proclaim light to the [Jewish] people and to the
Gentiles.
C21
To
reign over the Gentiles
(He would have to live forever to be able to accomplish this): Romans
15:12 NKJV - And
again, Isaiah says: There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall
rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.
C22
Fulfillment
of Old Testament Scriptures:
D1
Mark 12:26-27 NKJV - But
concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of
Moses, in the [burning] bush [passage], how God spoke to him, saying,
'I [am] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' ?
"He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You
are therefore greatly mistaken.
D2
Daniel 12:2 NKJV - And
many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to
everlasting life, Some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.
D3
Job 19:25-27 NKJV -
For I know [that] my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on
the earth; And after my skin is destroyed, this [I know], That in my
flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall
behold, and not another. [How] my heart yearns within me!
D4
Ezekiel 37:12-13 NKJV - Therefore
prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, O My
people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your
graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. "Then you shall
know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My
people, and brought you up from your graves.
D5
Hosea 13:14 NKJV - I
will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from
death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O Grave, I will be your
destruction! Pity is hidden from My eyes.
