Everlasting Guarantee

Christ's resurrection from the dead on the third day provided the ultimate counterpoint to the failure of the first Adam. By him death came to all of his descendants. But the fact that the second Adam not only died but also took up his life again in the power of a life that shall never end gives all who are His the assurance that they too, in their flesh, shall see God. Thus, the resurrection of Christ means that there is no part of salvation that is left for people to achieve. Christ has guaranteed it for all who are His.
