Can the resurrection of Christ be separated from the resurrection of the believer?
No, the resurrection of Christ cannot be separated from the resurrection of the believer. They are tied together. If the dead do not rise, then Christ was not raised, and the testimony that God raised Him is false. The two stand or fall together.
Les teaches that you cannot separate the resurrection of Christ from the resurrection of the believer; they are tied together. He points out that many people talk and sing about the resurrection and have a mental assent to it, but have never experienced resurrection power in their own life. Paul argues that if the dead do not rise, then Christ was not raised, and we are found false witnesses of God. Les also connects this to Ephesians 1:10, where God will gather together in one all things in Christ, both in heaven and on earth, and then says we must go back to Acts 2 to tie it all together.
