Today,
the reply is on the resurrection of Jesus Christ as an operation
carried out by divinity to fulfill sacred law, spirit process, and
consecrated purpose, rather than material works to restore the
physical body and flesh of a man. The resurrection of Jesus was to
accomplish more than returning life to one who is dead; sinners are
to be transformed to become the new creation. Multiple divine
goals are addressed including judgment to determine those who will
receive eternal life as well as judgment to determine the
distribution of rewards to those who have been redeemed. It is
written: 1st Corinthians 3: 11-15, KJV): 11 For other
foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man’s
work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because
it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s
work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s
work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be
burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so
as by fire. One of the fighters in the “Yahoo! Answers” public

Why
is it so important for Christians to accept that Jesus rose from the
dead? Why make such a bizarre and unlikely event so fundamental?
It
makes Christians look completely silly.
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual
house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in
the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect,
precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto
them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed,
the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word,
being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are
a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called
you out of darkness into his marvellous light; (1st Peter
2: 5-9, KJV)

among mature Christian believers the meaning and value for the
resurrection of Jesus Christ result from multiple operations of
divine fullness (divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy
Spirit). The resurrection of Jesus Christ pertains to the continued
existence of divine law; recovering the Creation that has been put
forth from GOD; providing a birth process for mankind that does not
use sexual reproduction; and the final elimination of sin. GOD
exists as a spirit (active presence) who is immortal,
incorruptible, and invisible. Even so, GOD is the origin of all that
exists and has life; GOD has established the divine order that
appears as our universe; and GOD has provided the frameworks and
operations of finite consciousness and self-will (willpower) such as
time and space. GOD exercises authority, divine prerogative,
dominion, eternal purpose, and sovereign will. Where the living
contain the same inseparable aspects of divine spirit that appeared
on the earth within Jesus Christ, GOD interacts with created beings
and living creatures in an ongoing relationship. The life essence
(breath; spirit; word) imparted from the makeup of the Creator gives
man possibilities and a potential to display the character, process,
and substance of Deity without also removing their integrity and
soundness as finite beings. Like the imparting of gifts from the
Holy Spirit, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a divine
demonstration (we say, an act in good faith; a down payment; an
earnest) to show the validity of all divine judgment, promise,
prophecy, and revelation. Believers receive a fresh endowment of
such elements as balance, faith, holiness, longsuffering,
lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, personhood, wisdom, and
wrath against sin. Consider again the following that uses language
from the holy writings, and a selection from the music ministry of
Dallas Holm:
(1.)
Romans 6: 3-6, King James Version (KJV): 3 Know ye not, that so
many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his
death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we
have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be
also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing
this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of
sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
(2.)
Romans 6: 8-13, KJV: 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe
that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised
from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he
liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to
be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our
Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your
members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
(3.)
Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind
the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the
things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.) Rise
Again from Dallas Holm @

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
