Everyone wants their own genie in a bottle and not the power of Christ – resurrection. c. “The resurrection Christ is the cornerstone of Christian doctrine” – R.A. Torrey d. That no man can resurrect on his own, science says impossible: Bible vs. Godless science e. The reality of miracles was one of the original fundamentals that science “disproved” f. If miracles do not occur then Christianity is false –creation, incarnation, resurrection, salvation of you and me i. Robert Anderson – Pauline dispensationalist – the question is why there have been no visible miracles in 2000 years. ii. His answer: The revelation of the mystery of Christ. iii. When they blame God for not intervening – ask them if they believe in miracles 2. Why is this a fundamental? a. The alternative is materialism (hopeless, fatalism); reincarnation; hope with no power b. Resurrection is a fact of the Bible (100+ times) – denied by Muslims, and others. i. Jesus’ resurrection is not the stuff of legend and myths, but history. ii.

No one says it clearer than Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:12-18 i. (Notice how many of these fundamentals rest on Paul’s epistles?) ii.

It was in his resurrection that Christ told Paul to go to Gentiles w/ salvation ii. See 2 Tim 1:10-11 – he has brought life and immortality to light 4. What it Means a. God has intervened in history to affect the worst condition of humanity: death b. It makes our justification possible: imputed righteousness – Rom 4:25 c. It makes eternal life possible – not an eternal present existence, but through death d. It proves the deity of Jesus – Matt 12:39; John 2:19 e. The power of Christ in us is in resurrection – Rom 6:4; Phil 3:10-11; f. It gives the Christian hope to sorrow not like others – 1 Thess 4:13-14 g.
