Together we want to get a clearer picture of the nature of our faith as the Church of the Nazarene, not just to gain knowledge, but to value the freedom and joy found in living out the way of Jesus of Nazareth.

I welcome you to our teaching series “What we believe”

Church of the Nazarene Article of Faith 16

16. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, that the bodies both of the just and of the unjust shall be raised to life and united with their spirits— “they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

16.1 We believe in future judgment in which every person shall appear before God to be judged according to his or her deeds in this life.

16.2 We believe that glorious and everlasting life is assured to all who savingly believe in, and obediently follow, Jesus Christ our Lord; and that the finally impenitent shall suffer eternally in hell.

1.Jesus’ Resurrection was necessary to guarantee us eternal life through resurrection.
2.Jesus’ Resurrection is a foretaste of what we can expect in our own resurrection.
3.Our resurrected bodies will be like Jesus’ resurrected body.

First-Fruits:
1. All the harvest came from God and belonged to Him.
2. It was an expression of faith. Because you gave the first harvest to God, you were trusting that He would provide the rest of the harvest.
3. The First-Fruits offering consecrated the entire harvest.
