CHRIST DEMONSTRATED HIS DIETY, vs. 38b
JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE AS OUR SUBSTITUTE, vs. 39b
THE FATHER RAISED HIS SON TO LIFE AGAIN, vss. 40-41
THE SON WILL JUDGE THE LIVING & THE DEAD, vs. 42
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY MEANS OF FORGIVENESS OF SIN FOR THOSE WHO TRUST HIM
AS SAVIOR & LORD, vs 43

LIFE TAKEAWAYS
             

1. If there were no resurrection then we have a dead “savior” who would be powerless to save anyone from the penalty of their sinfulness which is an eternity in hell.  But Jesus did pass through death unto life demonstrating that the Father fully accepted the sacrifice of His Son for the forgiveness of all who would come to Christ by faith and with a repentant heart.  Have you truly trusted in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of all your sins?  You may do so right now in silent prayer. 
   
2. The Bible says “…to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God…”  (John 1:12)  

    3.       “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Since we have now been justified by his blood, 
                how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!   For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!”  ​rough his life!”
