Romans 4:25
Romans 4:25
He was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
“He was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” This verse emphasizes the connection between the death and resurrection of Jesus. His death on the cross paid the penalty for our sins, and His resurrection assures us that God accepted that sacrifice. Through His resurrection, Jesus justified us—declaring us righteous before God. The resurrection affirms that Jesus’ work on the cross was completed and accepted by the Father. Because He was raised, we too are justified. We are no longer condemned but are declared righteous because of what Christ has done. The resurrection is the vindication of Jesus’ work, and through His resurrection, we are brought into right relationship with God.
1 Corinthians 15:14
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
Mark 16:4
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
Matthew 28:5
The angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
Matthew 28:6
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
