Christ the Lord is Risen Today!

(Celebrating the Glory of Easter)

The Good News of the Gospel is for all will trust Christ today!


By Ed Enochs,

"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep"

1 Corinthians 15:3-6

"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world."

John 11:25-27

Jesus Christ is alive! He is the Son of God who died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead! The Good News is that we can have eternal life if we acknowledge we have sinned by breaking God's Holy Commandments, repent of our sins and place our faith in Jesus Christ by calling upon the name of the Lord. This is the good news of Almighty God, that men and women can be saved from hell and have access to God the Father and the glory of eternal life through personal faith in Jesus Christ. Have you trusted in Jesus Christ today? Have you repented of your sins today?


Throughout the years, as I have actively shared my faith on various University and College campuses across the United States and I have often been asked by students and college professors why it is I believe in the exclusivity of the Christian Faith over all other religions and ideological truth claims.

For the public record, I am an Evangelical Christian and have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ since 1986, when as a teenager, I came to saving faith in Christ after reading books on Apologetics by Josh McDowell and CS Lewis.

Over the last two decades, I have pondered greatly and studied much on the question of whether or not Christianity is true. In the inner most recesses of my mind and heart I have greatly probed the depths of my conscience and heart and have attempted to introspectively analyze why it is that I believe in Jesus Christ.

I have asked myself if there were external determining sociological and psychological reasons why I became a Christian and not a member of another religion such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Mormonism or Jehovah’s Witnesses. Upon carefully thinking through the evidence, I can honestly say that I became a Christian based solely on the fact that I have looked at the evidence for Christianity and have found the historic Christian faith to be true.

After studying apologetics and theology for literally thousands of hours over the last twenty years, my faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth is stronger than ever before and I believe in every tenet of the historic Christian faith with absolute full and unwavering conviction. I believe in the historic doctrine of the Trinity, that in the one true and living God exists three distinct persons who share the same substance and essence of being, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity of Almighty God, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, transcendent, indivisible, immutable, incomprehensible and unfathomably majestic and perfect in every conceivable respect.

I believe in and affirm every doctrinal tenet espoused in the Historic Christian Creeds. I believe in Jesus Christ, that He is God the Son, the Second person of the divine Trinity. I believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man as the historic Christian doctrine of the hypostatic union doctrine asserted at the Fourth Ecumenical Council at Chalcedon held in 451 AD. I believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a perfect and sinless life, healed the sick, raised the dead, performed amazing miracles, died on the cross for the sins of the world, rose again from the dead and ascended gloriously to heaven. I believe the Bible alone is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and exclusively authoritative Word of God. I believe that we obtain justification before Almighty God exclusively on the basis of God’s free and unmerited gift of grace alone through our faith in Jesus Christ alone.

I believe that Christianity alone is true, all other religious views and non-Christian ideologies and philosophical systems to be false, erroneous, damnable and misleading.

I believe Christianity is true because of the impossibility of the contrary. That is, I believe the historic Christian faith and the entire Biblical theistic worldview is postulates must be presupposed and pre-asserted as the precondition and foundational basis of all cognitive and coherent rationality. For without Christ and the Bible there can be found no absolute standard of ethical morality, no conceivable standard of reality itself, no absolute standard of religious and ideological belief, no absolute standard of law and legal jurisprudence and no standard for anything at all.

Almighty God has spoken and revealed the glorious knowledge of Himself through His Word. He has established the veracity of His existence and truthfully differentiated Himself from all other rival religious and ideological truth claims via certain invincible evidences found in the inspired Holy Scriptures such as fulfilled prophecies and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

All non-Christian religions and truth claims will break down and prove to be refutable, internally incoherent, inconsistent, self-contradictory and self-defeating. Christianity on the other hand, has hundreds of Biblical prophecies and the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Christianity is true because Jesus Christ is and His infallible Word is true. Christ demonstrated to all that He is indeed the Son of God and Savior of the world by fulfilling over 300 specific prophecies and by ultimately rising again from the dead after being crucified on a Roman Cross and being laid bloody and broken in a borrowed Tomb.

The good news is that Jesus Christ and His cross is true. Jesus Christ is the only hope and only avenue to eternal life. Mankind can now escape the coming judgement of God by repenting of their sins and believing in Jesus Christ who is the Son of God who died on the cross and rose again from the dead. Have you repented of your sins and placed your faith in Jesus Christ. Do so today and you receive eternal life. Reject Jesus and suffer the eternal wrath of Almighty God which awaits all unblievers who reject Christ. However, the good news is that you can have eternal life through faith in Christ if you would only repent and trust Him today.
