Faith without the resurrection is based upon a lie. We can lie and deceive all we want, but a lie cannot produce the results promised. If there is no resurrection, there is no power available for salvaging my life and no hope of heaven. The greatest reality Christianity offers is to know that in the worst of circumstances there is a God who can make a difference when we seek obey him. Our confidence goes beyond the power of flesh and blood.
Human potential is limited and the flesh is weak.
Our confidence is in Almighty God who resurrects the dead. For some religion is only a fleshly experience. It makes them feel good about themselves. We take pride in our zeal and accomplishments for the Lord. We talk about what we have done and what we are going to do.
