Resurrection Faith Unbelieving Believers

• We live in unbelief when we do not possess a
  dynamic faith
• A picture of life with no resurrection Our
  faith would pointless! (1 Corinthians 1514,
  16-18)
• When understood and appreciated, the
  resurrection should produce a living hope in us
  (I Peter 13, 21)
• Sometimes the reason our trust is weak is
  because we dont live with a daily awareness of
  the resurrection of Jesus (Eph. 119-21 Rom.
  420-25)
• Confidence in Gods power in the resurrection
  of Jesus gives us faith for our salvation at the
  point of baptism (Col. 212 I Peter 321)

• We live in unbelief when we allow sin to be
  continually present in our life
• At baptism there is a resurrection where our
  relationship to sin and with sin changes (Rom.
  63-11)
• His resurrection reminds us WHY He endured all
  of this He did it for our sake, so we could be
  a new creation. His love controls us! (2 Cor.
  514-17)
• There is a fruit that is consistent with belief
  in the resurrection of Jesus. A fruit that
  understands we will be raised. A fruit that
  longs for that day (Rom 74)

Resurrection Faith Unbelieving Believers

• We live in unbelief when we do not possess a
  persevering purpose in our life
• Remember our spiritual resurrection in unity
  with Christ? There is a change in our focus in
  life (Colossians 31ff)
• The mantra of those who live as if there was no
  resurrection Eat, drink, and be merry, for
  tomorrow we die (1 Corinthians 1532)

  resurrection is an afterthought. We have
  something to live for, work toward, and pour our
  hearts into (I Cor. 1557-58)
