The Resurrection
Why is it vital to our faith?
1 Corinthians 15:1-58
❖ The resurrection is an essential part of the gospel. vv. 1-11
If it is to be “good news,” then it must contain the resurrection of Jesus.
❖ So a “Christian” denial of the resurrection is absurd, pathetic, and tragic. vv. 12-19
We can’t pick and choose from a doctrinal buffet depending upon our preferences or pressure from our culture.
❖ Why? The resurrection is necessary to fulfill the plan and purposes of God. vv. 20-28
The resurrection of Jesus is what validates Him as head of a reborn, redeemed humanity, and demonstrates His triumph over
Adam’s sin and death.
