Why Christ Died and Rose Again Restoring All Things
End of Law of Moses Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.” Acts 15:10-11
Only by Grace through Faith It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, because the law brings wrath. Romans 4:13-16
Judgment of Sin-Nature We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:2-4
Forgiveness and Cleansing I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2
Deferring Righteous Judgment What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? Romans 9:22
Spoiled Principalities and Powers And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2:15
Satan is dethroned in Creation Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. John 12:31; 16:11
Peace in 3 Realms Peace between God and man Peace between Jew and Gentile All things – Colossians 1:20
Messianic Kingdom Because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:8-14
