1 Corinthians 15:50-58 “He Gives us Victory”

1 Corinthians 15:50-58 “He Gives us Victory”

One of the troubles in the Corinthian Church that is alive today is confusion about the resurrection. Some were saying there is no resurrection, while others were being baptized for dead people. Many Christians today are as confused as the Corinthians. There are many Christians who don’t believe there is a resurrection. No heaven, No hell, and when you die you just are gone. Here Paul tells us the importance of the resurrection.

1.       The Corinthians problem

a.       Those who say there is no resurrection

b.       Those being baptized for dead people

c.       Hebrews 9:27 appointed once to die.

2.       Resurrection truths

a.       (51) we shall not all sleep

b.       We all will be changed

c.       (53) Perishable to imperishable

3.       Death is defeated

a.       The sting and power of death (judgement)

b.       Forgiveness and Grace have taken it away

c.       The shadow of death.

d.       Our faith, our life, our struggle, is not in vain

Live your life for Jesus with confidence. Live your life of faith boldly. We will all face death, but only it’s shadow and none of it’s power. Your Sin’s have been forgiven, your judgment overturned, victory given to you. Physical death in Jesus is a step into life as God meant it to be.
