ARE YOU A BELIEVER OR A CHALLENGER?
Is Jesus Christ’s resurrection a fact in history or a hoax? Christianity’s foundation is based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Is our belief a verifiable fact from history? If someone were to ask you to prove that Jesus Christ lives or did live, could you prove that He did or does live now without quoting Scripture? Are you grounded enough in your belief to prove His existence? I pose these questions as to cause awareness as we draw closer to end times, people are going to scoff at our beliefs as Christians as some already do. The people that may be a challenger don’t believe in the Bible, so we have to be able to defend our convictions.
Many people have tried to disprove Christ’s resurrection, only to become believers. Then there are those who refuse to research history and examine the evidence because then they have to admit they are wrong. Challengers seem to take the easy way out and just argue that Jesus is just a figment of our imagination. They argue because they would have to become a believer and submit to His Lordship.
If you were to look at the tombs of Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius, and Lenin, you will find that they all occupied. The tomb of Jesus Christ is empty. Not only is this stated in the Scriptures but is a historical fact. There are many historical facts that prove Christ is alive and that the Bible is true. Personally, I don’t believe that anyone can challenge Christ’s existence or the truth of the Bible because History proves it.
One other way it is proven is by passing it down from generation to generation verbally just as your family history is passed down the same way. There were witnesses to the facts and their testimonies are passed down to us today.
I leave you with a Scripture verse in Revelation 1:18 (NKJ) I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
