Raised for our Justification (Romans 4; LD 23)
/We know that the resurrection of Christ is essential for our resurrection. Our temptation as humans is to think that this is a future blessing. However, the Apostle Paul assures us that Christ's resurrection is for us right now. If Christ is not raised from the dead then we are still in our sins. Paul's point is that Abraham did not just look for a son, but he looked to the resurrection.
