Series: “Scandalous” Sermon #6 “The FOR US Of Resurrection”

1 Corinthians 15:17,19 (NLT) “And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. … we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.”

Acts 4:33 “And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.”

Romans 4:25 (NLT) “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.”    He is risen! I am Righteous!

Romans 4:25 (TPT) “Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was raised back to life to prove that he had made us right with God!”

Romans 6:18  “And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.”

Romans 3:23-24  “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,…”

Romans 5:17  “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”

The FOR US Of Resurrection

Romans 8:31-39 (NLT) “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If (SINCE) God is for us, who can ever be against us?:”

Vs 32  “Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?”

Rhetorical Question. Make a statement rather than to elicit information.

Argues from greater to lesser. 

Vs. 33 “Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.”

Vs. 34 “Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.” 

Vs 35 “Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?”

Vs 36, 37 “As the Scriptures say, ‘For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.’  No, despite (IN) all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.”

This word is used only once in Scripture.       

hypernikaō :– overwhelming victory, super conquerors, to vanquish beyond.  hoop airrrr ni  kah ō 

Vs 38 “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, …”

Vs 39 “…nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

God Is FOR US!

John 11:25-26  (Message)  “You don’t have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?”
