Infinite Value or No Value
Dear Champions,
The short excerpt is by Tim Keller, and the Scripture is 1 Corinthians 15: 3-6 . . .Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time . . .
If the resurrection happened, then Christianity is of infinite value. However, if the resurrection is not true, then Christianity is of no value at all. It's either of infinite value, or it's of no value.
Other religions aren't vulnerable like Christianity. They say that their founder wasn't God and that their founders were prophets. They say that the way to get to God is to try to live a good life.
But Christianity says that Jesus was the son of God and that the resurrection proves it. It says that nobody is good enough, and our founder is God. Christianity says, "Our religion doesn't tell you how to find God by your efforts, but how Jesus came and did it all for you." He died for your sins. He was your substitute. He brings you to God.
Champions, have a great week!-David Vining
