What if? There was no Resurrection?

1 Corinthians 15:13-21 - What if Jesus has not been resurrected from the Dead? (3 days in  the grave really dead - Jewish).

Six thing Paul says:
1. All preaching would be a waste of time.
2. All Christian faith would be useless.
3. There would be no hope at all for the future.
4. All of our sins - past, present, future - would still be with us.
5. All those who have died before all lost and will never be seen again except in Hell.
6. We become men or people most pitied - because everything is lost.

Preaching is vain; faith is empty; the apostles are made to be liars, our sin remains, death has triumphed over all our lost loved ones; life itself is made utterly miserable with no hope.

Millions of people lie just like that today. They don't know the reality of the risen Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:20 - But Christ is risen from the dead. This is the fundamental premise of our Christian faith. This answers all the doubts. This truth means we, too, can rise with Him.

1 Corinthians 15:21 - "Since by a man came death, so by a man (Christ) also came the resurrection of the dead."

1 Corinthians 15:22 - All in Adam die. Sin of Adam. Never born again. These all go to hell. Suffer spiritual death. So in Christ all shall be made alive.
