As Christians we need to Celebrate our Freedom!

I Corinthians 15:1-4

June 28, 2020

 

I Corinthians 15:1-4 gives a concise picture of the freedoms we have in Christ:

 

  1. The first fact of the gospel is that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.

1 Cor. 5:7

 

This means three things:

  1. Christ died as our sacrifice.

Hebrews 10:10, Hebrews 10:12, 14

 

  1. Christ died as our ransom.

Galatians 3:13, Romans 3:24, Col. 1:14, 1 Corinthians 6:20

 

  1. Christ died as our propitiation.

Romans 3:25

 

  1. The word propitiation means an atoning victim.

1 John 2:2, 1 John 4:10

 

  1. The second fact of the gospel is “that He was buried.”

Romans 6

 

III. Third fact of the gospel is “that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

 

  1. The resurrection of Jesus proves three things:
  2. That Jesus was dead.
  3. That Jesus rose from the dead.
  4. The resurrection of Christ showed God accepted Christ’s sacrifice.

Colossians 3:1
