Salam pumpi nei a tuh in a om a, khalam pumpi nei a kaihthoh in a om, salam pumpi a om a, khalam pumpi zong a om hi.

THUMNA: KHRIST IN SIHNA ZOUTA

1Kor. 15:55-58, “Aw sihna, na gu khoi a om ahia? Aw hankhuk, na zohna, khoi a om ahia?” 56 Sihna gu lah khialhna ahi ngal a, tualeh khialhna thuneihna dan ahi. 57 Hinanleh i Toupa Jesu Khrist ziak a gualzohna hung piapa Pasian kiang ah kipahthu om hen. 58 Tuaziak in, ka ittak sanggamte aw, dettak in, liingsak guallouh in, Toupa nna kuhkaltak in sem gige un, nasep gimna uh Toupa ah a thawn kei diing chih na thei uh hi.

Khrist thohkiikna tungtawn a sihna tung a gualzohna piak a omte i hi uh hi. Sihna in eite i ki-uksak diing uh a hikei hi. Jesu Khrist thohkiikna tungtawn in, sihna khenlam ah hinna a om chih i thei uh hi.

For years and years, I was afraid of what was going to happen after death. I didn’t know the gospel and I knew nothing about the completed work of Christ on the cross. Due to this, I was terrified of death. Did we simply just cease to exist? Or was our good going to be weighed against our bad and that would decide our eternal destination? All of these thoughts would swirl in my head and fill my entire being with fear. I don’t want you to have to experience this same fear and uncertainty.

 

4. We Are Given Eternal Life

A fourth powerful lesson from Christ’s resurrection is that we are given eternal life. We are given eternal life by placing faith in Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Through faith in Jesus, we are given not only eternal life but we are also given forgiveness of sins. Eternal life is only possible through Jesus’ death and resurrection. There is nothing we could or can do to merit salvation. Only God Himself could redeem mankind from our sins. This is why Jesus came down from heaven to save us from our sins and to give us eternal life by placing faith in Him.

Jesus is God in the flesh, which is why He was able to die for the sins of the world and be resurrected. He lived a perfect life and never sinned once. Although He was tempted, He never sinned. It is through the truth that Jesus is God that He didn’t sin and that He was able to be resurrected. No mere man could do this as only God could redeem mankind from their sins, be resurrected, and give us eternal life. If you are unsure about the future, turn to the Lord and know that you have eternal life in Him.

Once a person has placed faith in Christ, they will go to Heaven when they pass away. They don’t have to fear going to hell and being separated from God for all eternity because they placed faith in Christ during their life. You too can have this assurance of salvation by placing faith in Jesus. All you have to do is believe that Jesus died for your sins, was buried, and rose again. Confess your sins, and ask Jesus to help change your heart and mind through him. If you do this, you are forgiven of your sins and you are given eternal life through Jesus. This is only possible because of Jesus’ glorious, all-powerful resurrection.
