More On The Resurrection, Devotional Verses From Paul's Letter To The Romans

     Introducing the theology of the gospel of God, Paul writes: Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Romans 1:3,4
     The resurrection declares something about Jesus: it declares that He is the Son of God. Tying this statement that He is declared to be the Son of God because of His rising from the grave into the wider spectrum of New Testament theology, we could also say: He is declared to have died for our sins; He is declared to have defeated death; He is declared to have set us free from the fear of death; He is declared to be living in our hearts by His Holy Spirit; He is declared to be coming again; He is declared to be King of Kings and Lord of lords.
     The Lord is risen. He is risen indeed.
