PRESENTATION OUTLINE
THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION
DEBATE:
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
DEBATE:
Who's doing it right: early birds or night owls?
DEBATE:
Are people essentially good or bad?
Biblical View of Humanity – Created very good in the image of God but marred by the Fall
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them…. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning – the sixth day.” – Genesis 1:27; 31
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
- Romans 3:23
Are Some Sins Worse than Others?
“…all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment.”
- Isaiah 64:6
The real question is not, “How can a loving God send anyone to hell?” but, “How can a righteous God allow any sinner into heaven?”
Substitutionary Atonement
Jesus Christ
died in our place
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
- Romans 5:8
Our sins were put on Christ
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
- Isaiah 53:6
Christ died for our sins... He was buried, and He was raised from the dead on the third day... He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles. After that He was seen by more than five hundred..."
- 1 Corinthians 15:3-6
The Resurrection is God's Victory over Sin and Death
