Can You Be A Christian And Not Believe  In The Crucifixion/Resurrection?

8 Apr

 1 Corinthians 15:14, “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.“

I recently heard that if you remove the crucifixion and deity from Jesus, his story is more beneficial to win non believers to the faith. While the teachings of Christ are great to adhere to regards in how to treat every man and woman, unfortunately that alone will not save you.

While Jesus Christ was sent into this Earth to show everyone how to live for YAH, His main reason was to be the offering for our sins. Ephesians 5:2, “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.“

The actions of Jesus speaks more for humanity. In removing the separation created by sin through Adam and Eve’s original sin. Romans 6:23 reads, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.“ The Lord bore that sin in His body on the cross. 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.“

Living right is never a substitute for the Cross of Christ. As the cross is the only way to be justified in the eyes of YAH. The cross is cure for humanities infirmities with living justified is a byproduct of it, Shalom.

In The Light, Darkness Will Flee…

1 Feb

John 8:12, “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

One of the most amazing things to know, is that Jesus Christ is the eternal light of the world and our Spirits. Though this light is spiritual it is symbolic of natural light. A comforting thing to know is that darkness can never overtake the light while light, will always overtake the darkness. 

This eternal light is the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This light overtakes the darkness found in our human bodies which is sin. Sin  creates a separation from us and YAH, and upon receiving Jesus as our Savior this light comes to live within us.

The light of the Gospels extinguishes all darkness which is why we are charged to spread it throughout the world Matthew 28:19-20. We are commissioned to bring this light to everyone, in doing so omitting the darkness in themselves and the world, Shalom.
