Death of Christ

Jesus overcame sin, death, and Satan on the cross. His bloody suffering and death marked this sinful world's defeat.

Faithful preachers should remain steadfast in the biblical categories and terminology and preach the reality of death.

God uses the fifth commandment to protect us from selfishness, prevent us from only thinking about our needs, and to drive us to Christ and our neighbors.

Jesus will strengthen and encourage us because he is true life, and life has defeated death.
