HOPE FOR TOMORROW
WHY THE RESURRECTION MATTERS – Part 5
 
And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. 1 Corinthians 15:17 (NLT)
So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today…Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:34, 33 (NLT)
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you… 1 Peter 1:3-4 (NIV)
 
THE LIVING HOPE OF THE RESURRECTION MEANS THAT
1. … I DON’T HAVE TO ON MY OWN.
(Jesus) And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20 (NLT)
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me… Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
…so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Ephesians 3:17 (NIV)
 
2. … I CAN TRUST IN GOD’S .
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Hebrews 10:23 (NLT)

3. … I HAVE THE HOPE OF .
He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. Ecclesiastics 3:11 (NLT)
Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this…? John 11:25-26 (NLT)
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 (NLT)
 
4. … I HAVE PEACE IN THESE .
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. John 16:33 (NLT)  
We have run to God for safety. Now his promises should greatly encourage us to take hold of the hope that is right in front of us. This hope is like a firm and steady anchor for our souls. Hebrews 6:18-19 (CEV)
And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless…But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15:17,20 (NLT)
Have I ever openly declared that Jesus is Lord, and do I believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead – am I saved?
