—1 Corinthians 15:12-25
by: Sheri Rood.
Paul demonstrated his skill in arguing logic to believers who were trying to hold on to the ancient Greco-Roman belief that there was no resurrection of the dead. Paul’s “if-then” statements lead to one conclusion: If there is no resurrection from the dead, then Christ was not raised from the dead, and we have no hope. Our faith is based on the reality that Jesus was indeed raised from the dead. There cannot be a second harvest without a first harvest. Since Christ was raised, we can have confidence that He will keep His promise that we will also be raised. You can put your faith in it.
