The Christian life is rooted in faith in Jesus Christ, specifically believing that He died for our sins and was resurrected on the third day, as stated in Scripture. This faith marks the beginning of a transformed life, where we are spiritually cleansed and renewed to live in the newness of life provided through Christ. A Christian’s life is centered on aligning with God’s will, seeking to fulfill the desires placed by the Holy Spirit. This involves embracing our new identity in Christ, living out the righteousness we have received, and allowing the fruit of the Holy Spirit to manifest in our lives, reflecting our growth and transformation.
The Good News by which We are Saved.
Indeed, brethren, I make known to you the good news which I evangelized to you, which also you received, in which you stand, through which also you are saved, since you hold fast to what word I evangelized to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you at first that which also I received, that Christ died on behalf of our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures
