Easter Sunday reminds us that Jesus Christ died, he was buried and was raised to life on the third day: so what?

Cairo, Egypt(African Boulevard News) – Christians and non-Christians alike are on this Sunday April 9, celebrating all over the world, in every single country, the resurrection of Jesus Christ that occured in 33AD in Jerusalem, Israel. Our Editorial team in charge of religious affairs worked with Theologians and analyised other Holy Scriptures writing to summarize the Easter Holiday in the following 1000 words. Have you ever felt like you’ve done something wrong and you just can’t shake that feeling of guilt? That feeling can be overwhelming and make you feel like you are a bad person. The good news is that there is a solution to this problem: forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

What is Salvation?

Salvation is the act of being saved from something. In the Christian faith, it is the act of being saved from sin and the eternal consequences of sin. Sin separates us from God, and if we die in our sin, we will be separated from God for eternity. That’s why salvation is so important. The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). But the good news is that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sin by dying on the cross. When we believe in Jesus and accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we are forgiven of our sin and have eternal life. This is salvation.

How can we be saved?

The Bible tells us that salvation is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9). We cannot earn it or buy it. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can be saved (John 3:16). To receive salvation, we must first acknowledge that we are sinners and that we need a Savior. We must believe in our hearts that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead (Romans 10:9-10). And we must confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9). Once we have done this, we are saved and our sins are forgiven. This does not mean that we will never sin again, but it means that we are forgiven when we do sin and we have the Holy Spirit to guide us in living a life that is pleasing to God.

Why is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Important?

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Without the resurrection, Jesus’ death on the cross would have been meaningless. The resurrection proves that Jesus is who He claimed to be – the Son of God and the Savior of the world. The resurrection also gives us hope for eternal life. Just as Jesus was raised from the dead, we too will be raised from the dead and have eternal life with Him (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). This is the promise of the Christian faith.

Furthermore, the resurrection shows us that death is not the end. We do not have to fear death because we know that there is life after death. This is a comforting thought for those who have lost loved ones.

And the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most consequential event in the history of mankind. It proves that Jesus is the Son of God and gives us hope for eternal life. We encourage you to carefully examine the claims of Jesus and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. Your life will never be the same again.
