".Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him." Mark 16:6

HE HAS RISEN!   HE IS NOT HERE!   THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

The cross, the risen Christ and the empty tomb is the way God has provided for all those who believe so as to be reconciled to Himself. Without Jesus'
death and resurrection there would be no means of reconciliation. It is by the grace of our merciful God, who greatly loves that we have been saved and that by faith.
"But God, being rich in mercy because of His great love with which He loved us, even when were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)."  Ephesians 2:4-5 And verses 8-9 tell us, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, that no one should boast."

"...A man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus..." Galatians 2:16

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1

Scripture tells us,
"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."
Romans 10:17

Jesus Himself said,
"...Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John 3:5

Do not confuse 'water' here with baptism, "for that would make water baptism an essential to salvation, which would contradict all the teaching of the Word of God elsewhere, as well as that of our Lord Himself. The water is a symbol of the Word of God, and the new birth is of the Word and of the Spirit, for the Holy Spirit uses the Word in bringing it about."  *(Source cited below.)

The following are Scripture references:
"He saved us. Not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:5

And,
"In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be, as it were, the first fruits among His creatures."
James 1:18

And again,
"For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living abiding word of God." 1 Peter 1:23

And here the Apostle Paul is giving husbands the standard of love for a wife in Christ's love for the Church, the body of Believers, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her; that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word." Ephesians 5:25-26

Today is the day to receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord if you have not done so -- let the Apostle Paul help you here:
"But what does it say? 'The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart' -- that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; For with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
For the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.'"
Romans 10:8-11

With grateful hearts we give our Almighty God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit all praise, honor and glory for it is His alone! Amen
