The Details
Watch for This Theme in Worship!!
Generally, our actions are shaped by our beliefs. And our beliefs shape our behavior. This is true of Christians’ belief in the resurrection. We believe that Christ’s resurrection means our resurrection to a glorious eternal life is guaranteed. That inevitably shapes how we will act now.
However, it is not simply the facts of the resurrection that shape our behavior. It is the person of the resurrection. Jesus lives! Here is a resurrection reality. Jesus fills us with his Spirit, not only so that we have faith, but also so that we produce the fruits of faith he seeks.
