The Gospel Message:

  1.  Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures  (15:3)
  2.  He was buried  (15:4)

  7.  We are of all men most miserable  (15:19)

Because of the resurrection:

  1.  We are assured that Jesus is the firstfruits of many others to be resurrected  (15:22)
  2.  We can have boldness to live our lives for Christ even unto death  (15:29-32)
  3.  We will have a bodily resurrection like that of Jesus Christ  (15:35, 42-44)
  4.  We know that death is a defeated foe  (15:52-57)

 

FINAL TAKEAWAY:  We can have confidence to stand firm in Christ and continue to labor for Him knowing that it is never in vain.  (1 Corinthians 15:58)
