The Resurrection Verdict

OPENING DECLARATION

This document is issued as a public declaration.

What follows is not metaphor, myth, or religious speculation.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ constitutes a legal and spiritual verdict that altered the standing of humanity, the authority of death, and the jurisdiction of accusation.

This verdict was not declared by men.
It was issued by God through resurrection.

The crucifixion presented the evidence.
The resurrection delivered the ruling.

From that moment, condemnation lost authority, death lost dominion, and a new order was established.

This document does not seek agreement.
It records what has already occurred.

Those who recognise it will find clarity.
Those who resist it will find nothing here to argue with.

The verdict stands.

The Record

The Record

The following entries are not interpretation.
They are statements of standing.

They describe what changed
when the resurrection of Jesus Christ occurred.

They are recorded because they remain in effect.

Entry I — Condemnation

Condemnation no longer holds legal authority over humanity.
It lost standing when death was overruled.

Accusation may still speak,
but it no longer governs.

Entry II — Death

Death no longer holds dominion.
It retains presence, but not authority.

Its claim was broken
when resurrection occurred.

Entry III — Authority

Authority was transferred.

Not seized by man.
Not granted by institutions.

It was issued by God
through resurrection.

Those in Christ do not strive for authority.
They stand within it.

Entry IV — Jurisdiction

The jurisdiction of accusation collapsed.

No charge remains enforceable
against those who stand in the verdict.

The court that condemned
no longer convenes.

Entry V — Order

A new order was established.

Not gradually.
Not symbolically.

Decisively.

The old order remains only
where the verdict is ignored.

Implications

If condemnation no longer governs,
then guilt is no longer a master.

If death no longer rules,
then fear is no longer a guide.

If authority was transferred,
then striving is unnecessary.

If jurisdiction collapsed,
then accusation has no forum.

If a new order was established,
then alignment is the only response.

These are not commands.
They are consequences.
