Here are a few themes that reveal the Gospel according to 'Warm Bodies':
1) Before coming to faith in Christ, the Bible Refers to us as the Walking Dead
Yep. Just like R, we all shuffle through this world physically alive yet spiritually dead. And you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world according to the ruler who exercises authority over the lower heavens, the spirit now working in the disobedient..(Ephesians 2:2) |
2) Because We Are the Walking Dead, We Are in Danger of God's Righteous Wrath
In the same way, our spiritual deadness causes us to do, say and think many terrible and evil things. These things are called sin. They are a direct offense and crime against God. But because God is good and righteous, He must punish all those who sin (hint: that's all of us!). This is the wrath of God.
we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.. (Ephesians 2:3b)
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved (Ephesians 2:4-5)
4) When We Are Brought to Spiritual Life, We Become Something New
In the same way, because of Christ, our old existence is over. A new life has begun.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
5) R's New Life Began with Julie, For us it Begins with Christ
Jesus said: "For this is the will of My Father: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." (John 6:40)
The dead walk. Love brings them to life. Sinners are saved. A new life dawns.
Pastor Ellery
So, What Now?

On the cross, He was the recipient of the full wrath of God even though he never did, said or thought anything wrong. He was perfectly good, loving and just.
But God made Him - His Son - to be our substitute!
His perfectly righteous life was given in exchange for our life of evil, selfishness and sin.
He gave us the greatest gift He could give - Himself!
By dying on the cross, He saved us from the wrath of God we deserved! Because of that, the sins of those of us who trust and believe in Him are completely forgiven.
When He rose from the dead, He proved we would also rise with Him to new, eternal life.
He has promised to return and make all things new. Eternal life with Him in a new heaven and a new earth where there is no more sin, sickness, suffering and death is our inheritance.
But we must believe. Believing Jesus did this for you changes your entire life!
It means you who were once spiritually dead, have suddenly been born again. You are now alive. A new life of purpose, incomprehensible love, joy and peace has begun.
Will you believe? If so, pray this prayer:
"God I desperately need you in my life.
In more ways than I can count, I know I haven't done right.
I've made so many mistakes.
But I need your forgiveness.
And because of what Jesus did for me, I know you will forgive me.
I know I'm a sinner. I know I deserve your wrath.
But I believe you love me!
I believe you gave Your Son, Jesus to die on the cross for me.
I believe He rose from the dead and that my life will never be the same.
I turn my back on my old way of living.
