    based on 1 rating
     | 1,243 views

    The resurrection is not only a fundamental part of the Gospel, but it is the glue that holds every part of the Gospel together. Without it, Christians are believing in vain and are without hope.

No Christ, no Christians, or no Christ’s followers! ...read more
