I Corinthians 15:12-19
\nThe Resurrection of the Dead \u2013 Part 1<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 06\/01\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in I Corinthians 15:12-19.<\/span><\/p>\n

12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

15 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.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

[King James Version]<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Questions:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. According to verse 12, some of God’s people do not believe that the dead will rise again. Why would a person who believes in the Gospel, meaning that they believe in Christ who rose again, not believe that they will also rise again?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. If they do not believe in the resurrection of mankind, do they have to believe that after death, mankind becomes nothing? In that case, what is the purpose of human existence?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Why does it say “if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised” (verse 16)?<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Why does it say “if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are the most miserable of all men” (verse 19)?<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Applications:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. According to you, why is the resurrection of mankind reasonable?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. According to you, what is the purpose of human existence?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Are you living a lifestyle that is oriented towards the purpose that God has predetermined for you?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
