RESURRECTION: BELIEVERS' HOPE IN CHRIST

1. "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all the most pitiable.
2. But now CHRIST IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD and has become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep."
   1 Corinthians 15:19,20 (NKJV)

• If there is no resurrection, our faith is futile (1 Corinthians 15:17).

• The main purpose of serving Christ is not of this world—our hope is life after death.
• If there is no life after death, Christianity is meaningless.

1. "And why do we stand in jeopardy [danger] every hour? (If the dead do not rise)!
2. If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beast at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise..."
   1 Corinthians 15:30,32 (NKJV)

Peace!
