In Acts 3:26 it states: "To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."
Once we come to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, trusting Him as Lord and Saviour, He puts away all our iniquities (wickedness and unrighteousness). Then the following blessings become ours in Him because of the resurrection:
1. We have "peace with God" - Lit. "peace facing God!"
Romans5:1
2. Forgiveness of all sin - Ephesians 1:7 "forgiveness"
is putting off, putting away all sin.
3. Eternal Life - John 10:28 - "And I give them eternal
life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone
snatch them out of My hand."
4. Adopted into God's family - Romans 8:15-17:
v. 15 - "...you have received the Spirit of adoption by
whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
v. 16 - "...we are children of God."
v. 17 - "...heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.."
5. The privilege of prayer - Hebrews 4:16 - "...come
boldly to the throne of grace ..."
Luke 11:1-4 is known as The Lord's Prayer and it's
where the Lord gives us instruction about prayer.
6, John 10:10 - where Jesus states: "...I have come that
they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly." That's life with real meaning and
purpose!
7. Indwelling of the Holy Spirit - Ephesians 1:13-14 -
-"sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise" - "who is
the guarantee (lit. down payment) of our inheritance
until the redemption of the purchased possession.."
8. God's promise of His presence until we get Home to
glory!! See Matthew 28:20 - "I am with you always .."
and Hebrews 13:5 - "...For He Himself has said, "I
will never leave you nor forsake you."
This is not an exhausted list but it gives you and me an
excellent start to all the blessings that are available to us because of the resurrection! Continue to study and review them and by faith ask God the Holy Spirit to apply
them in you heart and mind! Rejoice and Enjoy!!
