-
The same power that brought Christ back from the dead is operative within those who are Christ’s. The Resurrection is an ongoing thing.
-- Leon Morris -
The resurrection power of Jesus broke Satan's captive power. When He led the Old Testament saints from paradise to heaven, He led captivity captive!
-- Leon Morris -
To put it bluntly and plainly, if Christ is not my Substitute, I still occupy the place of a condemned sinner. If my sins and my guilt are not transferred to Him, if He did not take them upon Himself, then surely they remain with me. If He did not deal with my sins, I must face their consequences. If my penalty was not borne by Him, it still hangs over me. There is no other possibility.
-- Leon Morris -
It is the way of grace. People do not merit salvation but receive it as a free gift from God on the basis of what Christ's death accomplished.
-- Leon Morris -
You can drift into sin, but not into righteousness.
-- Leon Morris -
The Bible was the only book Jesus ever quoted, and then never as a basis for discussion but to decide the point at issue.

The power of the resurrection means that nothing but the tomb is meant to be empty.
-
There is no historic incident better or more variously supported than the resurrection of Christ.

If I put things between me and Christ, it is idolatry. If I put Christ between me and things, it is victory!
