The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has asserted that without the death of Jesus Christ, believers would not have the promise of eternal life.
He said this during the Duayaw Nkwanta Area’s 2024 Easter Convention at the Methodist Park on Friday, March 29, 2024.
In his sermon, Apostle Nyamekye noted, “When Jesus declared ‘It is finished,’ He accomplished everything necessary for our salvation.”
The Chairman drew references from 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, stressing the centrality of Jesus’ death in the Christian message.
Reflecting on the brutality of crucifixion, Apostle Nyamekye remarked, “Crucifixion, reserved for the vilest of criminals, became the means by which God’s redemptive plan was fulfilled.”
Quoting John 19:28-35 and Deuteronomy 21:22-23, he highlighted the intentional nature of Jesus’ death as ordained by God.
Touching on Hebrews 9:10-12, Apostle Nyamekye explained, “Through the sacrifice of His blood, Jesus secured our redemption and sealed the new covenant.”
He further articulated the concept of inheritance, stating, “Jesus’ death is the prerequisite for us to inherit eternal life and God’s promises.”
In a stirring call to action, Apostle Nyamekye urged, “As heirs of God’s promises, let us embrace our identity and live out the transformative power of the Gospel.”
