If the resurrection is true, then how we live matters. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives, showing whether we find our identity based on our “earth suit” or on our spiritual life.
Jesus Christ reconciled us to God through His life, death, and resurrection. He took on our sin so that we might have peace with God. As a result of reconciliation, we are being transformed in this present darkness, learning to live out our identity in Christ.
We are all in need of a heart transplant—everyone has fallen short of the glory of God. But Jesus Christ has justified us through His own righteousness.
We are God’s workmanship. Out of that identity, we do good works, resting in the assurance we have through the blood of Jesus Christ.
As Joseph and his brothers are reconciled at last, we clearly see the grace and sovereignty of God, who redeems even the worst acts of men for His own good purposes.
Dr. Boa explains the power Christians are able to access by putting on the armor of God. The five defensive and two offensive weapons enable the believer to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
Peter’s first epistle was written near the end of his life and it is designed to give us perspective. He tells us that we get to see things that the saints of the Old Testament could not see. And in light of these things, we have a living hope that brings confidence and stability and we can live in a manner that anticipates these future glories.
