1 Timothy 2:1-3

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

While Christ’s death dealt with our personal sins so we would be found innocent, the key to eternal life is His resurrection. Scripture states if there was no resurrection, we would remain dead in our sins (1 Corinthians 15:17). It is Christ’s resurrection that enabled several of the secure positions before God. It is Christ’s resurrection that allowed Him to ascend to heaven to send the Holy Spirit to seal us (Romans 8:9), to now head the family of God into which we are adopted (Ephesians 1:5) and to spiritually baptize us so we are identified with His new life and created as a new person (Romans 6:2-10). As a new person, we are liberated from sin and are free to serve Christ. We cannot be defeated by the misdeeds of our old self nor affected by Adam’s fall (Romans 6:11-23). What a great salvation we have, which God planned before all time and carried out in His wisdom, knowledge, love and for His own pleasure (Ephesians 1:4-8). What is the significance of the resurrection (the specific importance of the resurrection rests in several key biblical concepts) and how specifically does Christ's resurrection benefit us?

Key to understanding our need for salvation is to comprehend the nature of man in relation to sin. When Christians consider sin they most often think of their own personal sin. As Christians we believe our transgressions are forgiven by Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross for us. We discuss the important topic of sin before we were Christian, necessitating the need for salvation that God kindly provided through Christ. However, understanding sin in the unbelieving state is not just about personal sin but we must consider also imputed and inherited sin. As believers we must look at what scripture says, which should always be our guide. Learn more at https://teleiosresearch.com/nature-of-man/.
