Eyewitness to the Risen Christ!
Eyewitness to the Risen Christ! I Corinthians 15:1-8 Main point: We must hold firmly to the gospel of the risen Jesus Christ by which we are saved – we receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life in Him. ‘Gospel’ = Good News! *Paul and the disciples were eyewitnesses to the risen Christ, and then more than 500 people were eyewitnesses! 1. Christ offered Himself as a sacrifice and His shed blood paid for our forgiveness - in His blood is the New Covent. Matthew 26:26-28 Matthew 20:17-19 2. We must receive and believe this gospel, and hold firm to this word of truth that saves us! (verses 1-2) Romans 10:9-10
