  2. Stand Firm to the Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1–2 (NET) 1Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you – unless you believed in vain. The Good News • Paul Preached It • They received it • They stand on it • They are saved by it • They believed it How could believing it be “In Vain”? It’s “in vain” if they believe the wrong message! What is Paul’s Message?

  3. This is the Gospel 1 Cor. 15 3For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received – that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, Paul didn’t make it up! The Gospel - Objective 1. Christ died for our sins in according to the Scriptures. 2. Christ was buried 3. Christ was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures.

  4. The Evidence for the Gospel 1 Cor. 15 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also. The Resurrection is a historical fact.

  5. There is no variation in this message. 1 Cor. 15 9For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain. In fact, I worked harder than all of them – yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, this is the way we preach and this is the way you believed. They preached the same message

  6. No Resurrection? 1 Cor. 15 12Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is futile and your faith is empty.

  7. Are All these Witnesses Liars? 1 Cor. 15 15Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ from the dead, when in reality he did not raise him, if indeed the dead are not raised.

  8. No Resurrection? You’re still in sin. 1 Cor. 15 16For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins. If there is no Resurrection, then the Gospel is a Lie. Believing a lie doesn’t save you from sin.

  9. Then the Dead remain Dead? 1 Cor. 15 18Furthermore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished. 19 For if only in this life we have hope in Christ, we should be pitied more than anyone. If the Resurrection is a lie: The dead remain dead. We are wasting our life believing something that isn’t true. What a pity.

  10. But, Christ is Risen! 1 Cor. 15 20But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. Christ Lived Christ Died Christ was Raised from the Dead Thus, our Resurrection is Secured

  11. Adam brought Death, Christ brings Resurrection 1 Cor. 15 21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man. 22 For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. All people die because Adam sinned. All people will be resurrected because Christ died and was resurrected.

  12. The Order of Resurrection • 1 Cor. 1523But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; then when Christ comes, those who belong to him. 24 Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he has brought to an end all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

  13. Christ will defeat death 1 Cor. 15 26The last enemy to be eliminated is death. Revelation 21:3–4 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”

  14. The Final Goal of Resurrection 1 Cor. 15 27For he has put everything in subjection under his feet. But when it says “everything” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him. 28 And when all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

  15. Christ Died For You Christ Was Raised for You He Did it All For You Believe
