What are the implications if Jesus did not rise from the dead according to the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15?
-
That we’ve been living a lie and that our entire existence has been by chance. That there is no higher being and that once we die it is truly the end of life.
-
Like what Paul says in verse 19, “If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.” Without Christ rising from the dead we have nothing, no conquering over death, no atonement, no all powerful savior. We have nothing!
-
Our faith is worthless.
-
If christ was not raised then Christianity is no different from any other religion. We are still in our sin and unreconciled to God so we’ve no hope.
-
Then if Christ has not risen, the preaching of the disciples was false. If their message is false we are not justified by Christ as HIs death would have been meaningless without the essential part of being raised from the dead to signify God’s approval of His death for our forgiveness of sin. Our faith is futile and we are still in our sins. All are still lost. We are to be pitied for believing a lie.
