1 COR 15

1 COR 15
Paul: remember GOOD NEWS – CONTINUE strong in it, being saved by it. Continue believing.
1)GOOD NEWS = CHRIST died for our sins.
2)HE was buried and raised to life.
3)Many people seen HIM.

The importance of this belief.
- Our faith builds on.
- God do not lie.
- Our sins are removed by Jesus.
- No life after death = we are hopeless.

Why is it important?
- IT IS A PROOF that death / sleep can be raise.
so we can be raise when we sleep.
- Jesus Christ destroy death.
- Jesus have the rights and he control everything.

vs 48 People that belong to heaven are like man of heaven.
- Something that can be ruin cannot be part of something that will not be ruin.

vs 53 Clothes ~ Robe of Righteousness

vs 56 states clearly that power to death = sin
power of sin = law

Although power of sin = law
vs 57 told us that God gives us the victory thru JC.
vs 58 what ever it is do not let anything change us..
ALWAYS GIVE YOURSELVES FULLY TO THE WORK OF THE LORD, BCOZ YOU KNOW THAT YOUR WORK IN THE LORD IS NEVER WASTED.

The WORK here is NOT referring to working out your salvation! IS about DOING!

1 COR 16
vs 15 the church shall value people like such as stephanas, and lets recognise them.
- 1st believer = founder of the church.
- serving God's people = humble
- be lead by them and serve with them.

vs 18 we should recognize the value of people like these.
