  1. 1 Corinthians 15:53-58 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

  2. Thanks Be To God Who gives us the victory!

  3. Some Said There Was No Resurrection Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 1Corinthians 15:12

  4. Implications If The Resurrection Is False • But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: • And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. • Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. • For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: • And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. • Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. • If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (15:13-19)

  5. Paul’s Proof For The Resurrection The Gospel They Preach (15:1-4; Acts 2:22-24) Old Testament Scripture (15:3-4) according to the Scriptures. . . Eye Witness Saw Him (15:5-9) • Peter and then The twelve • 500 Hundred brethren at once many of whom were still alive. • James, the twelve • Paul as one born out of due season Adam and Death (15:21-22) Paul’s Suffering and Life’s Meaning (15:31-33)

  6. The Natural Order – Natural Then Eternal It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly such are they also that are heavenly.

  7. Continued: The Natural Order – Natural Then Eternal And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. (15:44-53)

  8. Thanks Be To God But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. • God sent Christ to die for our sins. • Christ came died, and rose from the dead. • The dead do rise from the dead, Christ rose. • All men have shared in the earthy will partake of the heavenly. • Those in Christ will rise from the dead. • Christ gives us the victory over death. • Therefore, be unmoveable, always abound for your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
