The resurrection of Jesus, Paul claims, is a strong foundation on which we can plant our feet and take our stand of faith. This good news is bringing salvation to us, and is worth holding onto! Since Jesus has been raised, we are freed from our sins; we will ourselves be resurrected to new life; and God gives us victory over both sin and death through Christ! What excellent news! It means that we can establish our lives in this wonderful truth, knowing our faith and our labor is not in vain.
