At the very heart of the Gospel Paul preached, was a resurrected Christ.
Since the time Christ was resurrected from the dead, people have chosen to not believe and desire to lead others away from the Truth.
It is a profession of faith that God has raised Jesus from the dead that salvation is given. Romans 10:9-13
Through faith in the resurrected Lord Jesus, a believer can never perish but has eternal life. John 3:16; Romans 6:23
Christ Jesus is the promised firstfruits from the dead.
The ultimate victory of Christ’s Kingdom is coming whereby He will rule in authority and power.
Christ must reign as King until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be abolished and put to an end is death. Psalm 8:1-9; Revelation 20:11-15
Though Christians will experience persecution in this life, we have hope of eternity because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Ecclesiastes 3:11; 2 Timothy 3:10-12
Christians must perceive evil for what it is and resist its association. Bad company corrupts good morals.
Paul persuaded the Corinthian Church to be sensible and wake up from their spiritual stupor and stop their sinful living.
Paul verbally punched the Corinthian Church by saying some of them within the assembly were disgracefully ignorant of God and ignore His truths. Paul said this to their shame.
Is your hope in the resurrected Christ?
