The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

To pledge what is still future is to assume that we know what will happen beyond today, but that will be tantamount to playing god. Who knows whether he would still have the breath of life in his nostrils the morning next after the lengthening of the evening shadows?
