Love God, Love People


And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’  This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”  -  Mark 12:30-31 NKJV

Miraculous...


MIRACULOUS


occurring through divine or supernatural intervention, or manifesting such power.


We live on a spinning blue planet
Teeming with life
Revolving around an exploding star on a precise trajectory
Along with a companion moon that is lifeless, does not spin and moves our oceans.



It's okay, go ahead and admit it....God is awesome!

What The Bible Says About Jesus Christ’s Death and Resurrection


Scriptures on Jesus Christ’s Death and Resurrection



Propitiation Through Faith


Rom 3:25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past,




Demonstration of God’s Love


Rom 5:8  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.




Redemption


Rom 3:24  Yet God freely and graciously declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.


Eph 1:7  In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace


Tit 2:14  He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.


1 Pet 1:18-23  For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake. Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory. You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.


Rev 5:9  And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,




A Proper Offering of God


Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.




A Substitute For Us


Rom 5:6  For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.


Gal 1:4 Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.




Peace With God


Col 1:20  and through him God reconciled  everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.




The Ransom Paid


1 Tim 2:6  He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.




Sanctification


Heb 10:10-14  For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.




Man Brought Near To God


Eph 2:13  But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.




The Old Law Abolished


Eph 2:14-17  For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death. He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near.




Healing


Matt 8:17  that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.”


1 Pet 2:24  He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin  and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
