WRITE YOUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THESE QUESTIONS
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the linchpin of our faith. Easter is
important because it is the season of the year when we remember
In your opinion, why does fear keep us from feeling alive? that Jesus rose from the dead, and this act allowed him to fulfill the
requirements of God’s law so that He can offer eternal life to whoever
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________ believes in Him. Through the crucifixion, the penalty for sin was paid,
______________________________________________________________ and through the resurrection, we can receive eternal life.
______________________________________________________________ The promise of the gospel is not only freedom from sin but,
______________________________________________________________
more importantly, that we have been gifted the promise of eternal
life. Have you ever thought what it means to been given that promise?
It means that we do not need to fear anything that could happen to us
How does growing your relationship with God aid us in removing fear?
______________________________________________________________ humans here on earth. After all, we are promised immediate access to
______________________________________________________________ heaven at the moment of our passing.
______________________________________________________________
Just like God will bring about the utterly new earth, we are
______________________________________________________________
promised a unique and perfect body that will live forever. This does
______________________________________________________________
not mean that you will look entirely different or that your appearance
will be forever changed, nor does it mean that all our perceived
“flaws” will be removed, after all, it is our “flaws” that are part of us.
How does it make you feel knowing that by growing your relationship
with God you are fulfilling your call to be Alive? Instead, we will be free from the effects of sin and decay, and we will
______________________________________________________________ look like what God sees in us.
______________________________________________________________
We will live, work, travel, create, care, worship God and learn.
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________ We won’t be limited by frail bodies but will be able to live the full life
______________________________________________________________ that God wanted for us from the beginning. We will take walks with
God as He enjoys walking among His creation. Talk with all the saints
that went on before us and give thanks to God for all eternity for the
peace that lasts forever.
