Bible Study About The Resurrection Of Christ

Paul's epistle to the Romans includes facts about the resurrection of Christ:

(1) Christ's resurrection shows the dynamic of the Son of God, the spirit of holiness so designating Him.

Rom 1:1-7
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (2) (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) (3) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; (4) And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: (5) By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: (6) Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: (7) To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

(2) As a principle God selectively vitalises that which is dead.

Rom 4:16-17
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (17) (As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before Him whom he believed, even God, who quickens the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were.

(3) As an analogy the resurrection of Christ reminds us to reckon ourselves to be dead to sin but alive to God through Him.

Rom 6:4-11
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. (7) For he that is dead is freed from sin. (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 dies no more; death has no more dominion over him. (10) For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He lives, He lives unto God. (11) Likewise reckon you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

* Strongs G1391

δόξα

doxa

dox'-ah

From the base of G1380; glory (as very apparent), in a wide application (literally or figuratively, objectively or subjectively): - dignity, glory (-ious), honour, praise, worship.

Total KJV occurrences: 168

(4) With Christ in us our mortal bodies that are dead because of sin are vitalised by the same Spirit of God which raised Christ from the dead dwelling in them.

Rom 8:10-11
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (11) But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.

By virtue of Christ's bodily resurrection we who are indwelt by Him can be assured of our own bodily resurrection.

(5) Confession of the mouth and belief of the heart that God raised Christ from the dead appropriates righteousness and salvation.

Rom 10:8-10
But what says it? The word is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; (9) That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. (10) For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(6) For the purpose of gathering both the living and the dead under His Lordship and Rule, Christ died and rose to life again.

Rom 14:7-10
For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself. (8) For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. (9) For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. (10) But why do you judge your brother? or why do you set at nought your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
