Pastor Kent Ward says the blood of Jesus is "just as if I'd" never sinned.

1. Overcomers Church International Podcast features Pastor Kent Ward on Easter, Passover, and 1 Corinthians 15:20, where he calls Christ the "first fruits" from the dead. 2. Kent Ward is the speaker and teaching pastor, and he repeatedly quotes "Romans chapter eight, verse 11" and "1 Corinthians chapter 15" to build his case. 3. His core claim is that "the blood is the difference maker" because Jesus' resurrection, not religious tradition, secures life with God. 4. He reads Romans 8:11 and says the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in believers "right now," not only at a future resurrection. 5. He uses Exodus 11:4-7 and Exodus 12:3-13 to describe the first Passover, where a lamb "without blemish" and blood on the doorposts protected Israel in Egypt. 6. Ward says the feast of first fruits explains why Jesus rose when He did, and he notes that "today is April 5th" and around the month of Nisan. 7. He argues from 1 Corinthians 15:21-23 and Philippians 3:9-10 that resurrection life follows death to self, self-righteousness, and flesh. 8. On justification, he quotes Romans 5:9 and says the blood of Jesus means "just as if I'd" never sinned. 9. He contrasts Jesus' blood with the blood of Abel in Hebrews 12:24 and says Christ's blood "speaks better things," including mercy and forgiveness. 10. People who want a Bible-heavy Easter message about Passover, grace, and sanctification.
